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.
