"Our permanent relocation is decided along with the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj (CSM) fish market. There is no question of temporary relocation," a member of the Dadar Fish Market Association said.

Last month, the residents of Dadar's Swarajya CHS came out on the street protesting against the fish market, stating that since the closure of Elphinstone Bridge, the traffic in the area has multiplied and the fish market adds to the chaos. The residents' protest was supported by local MLA Mahesh Sawant.

The residents along with MLA Sawant and MP Anil Sawant held meetings with the BMC officials demanding immediate relocation of the Dadar fish market.
