Koli Community moves Bombay High Court seeking compensation for losses due to Atal Setu

The Koli community has approached the Bombay High Court seeking compensation for the economic losses they suffered due to the construction of the Atal Setu bridge in Mumbai. The petitioners argue that the bridge has adversely affected their fishing activities, leading to a significant loss of livelihood. They seek compensation from the government for the damage caused by the construction. The case underscores the challenges faced by indigenous communities when infrastructure projects disrupt traditional livelihoods. The court's decision could set a precedent for how compensation claims related to infrastructure development are handled, particularly for marginalized communities.
