Out of business: The lockdown has put a majority of Mumbai’s fishing community out of work. With fish markets closed, many are finding it hard to sustain their livelihood. Thousands of fishing boats are lying useless and the community members are staring at a financial crisis. Markets fall silent: Some of the busiest fish markets, including at the Sassoon Dock in Colaba, Crawford Market in south Mumbai, Bhaucha Dhakka, or ferry wharf near the Dockyard, the Kasara fish market in neighbouring Thane and others, which used to be bustling with activity and business every day are shut. Fight for survival: The fish market at the Sassoon Dock alone used to clock a daily turnover of about Rs two crore, but is devoid of business activity these days. Over one lakh fishing community members, who were largely dependent for their livelihood on fish sale at the Sassoon Dock and other markets, are finding it difficult to survive. From colonies to containment zones: The civic health authorities have so far declared three fishing colonies as ‘containment zones’ and imposed lockdown by barring all entry-exit points there. They are: Versova fishing colony, Mahim fishermen colony, both isolated this week, and earlier last month, it was the Worli Koliwada. The drastic move was implemented after more than a dozen fishermen have been detected Covid-19 positive in both Versova and Mahim colonies. The lion’s share of India’s tally: Maharashtra continues to be the worst-hit state in India, with Mumbai alone reporting 528 deaths and over 14,500 cases, as on May 12. Dharavi slum alone continued to be a major hotspot in Mumbai, notching 57 new cases, taking the total number of patients to 916, and 29 deaths till now.
