Babus, netas seek a bite of city's first seafood plaza

While the stalls were shut from June to September due to the annual fishing hiatus, the plaza, located at Mahim Koliwada, has not reopened.

Internal conflicts among the women's self-help groups (SHGs) involved in the project, coupled with unresolved issues with the BMC, have further delayed its reopening, said sources.

The seafood plaza was designed to be a vibrant culinary hub, offering locals and visitors the opportunity to savour the freshest seafood right by the sea. Operated by 14 women's SHGs, the plaza was envisioned as a unique initiative to support both local tourism and the empowerment of women.
