Mumbai municipal elections will be held on February 16 2012. Expenditure by the candidates is strictly controlled, so you can see that all supporters are welcome.In Worli's fishing village Koliwada, the granting of fishing licenses to international trawlers, with the resulting depletion of fish-stock, is one of the big issues.
Also, upgrading versus redevelopment of this ancient village is a hot topic, prompted by the new vantage point provided by the recently opened Sealink.
Citywide, questions have been raised about the "slum" homes now highly visible in the village. Local residents fear that redevelopment will destroy the community that they love, as families are arbitrarily relocated.
