MUMBAI: The project-affected fishing community of JNPT on Friday staged a protest to block ship movement at the container port in support of their 36-year-old issue of resettlement of displaced families of erstwhile Sheva Village.
Meanwhile, JNPT officials said though ship movement remains unaffected, upon the request of district administration, the port has already released an amount of Rs 5.69 crores on February 16, 2021 and has further requested the shipping ministry to grant permission to enhance the amount to Rs 14.64 crores (inclusive of 5.69 crores) considering the 15 years inflation towards the resettlement.
The agitation was called off in the afternoon following the intervention of Raigad MP Sunil Tatkare who reportedly promised to resolve the issue in four to five days.

× Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party, coalition partners in the Maharashtra government, are backing protests by workers to stall a plan by Centre-owned Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) to privatise the container terminal run by the port authority at the port located near Mumbai.
Sunil Tatkare, the NCP law maker representing the Raigad constituency where the port is located, and Shrirang Barne, the Shiv Sena Member of Parliament, representing Maval constituency, will participate in a demonstration called by the port workers on Wednesday to press the port authority to drop the plan, according to worker unions.
“The JNPT management is expected to approach its Board of Trustees soon to approve a plan to privatise the terminal. We want to stop it,” said a union source.
