While the report focussed on how the removal of the fish market would adversely impact the livelihood of the fisherfolk, this edit highlights the removal of the toilet bringing immense hardship to the women still working there

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has demolished the toilet of a fish market along the Bellasis Bridge at Mumbai Central. This fish market which is more than 50 years old will also be removed to expand the new bridge.
A fish seller said, in reports, that last week, the BMC demolished the toilet that was being used by the fisherfolk. There are mostly women working at the market. It is impossible to work without access to a toilet as they leave home at 5 am for work.
