Mumbai’s historic dock quietens as fuel crisis chokes fishing trade

Mumbai's historic Sassoon Dock, once a vibrant center of maritime activity, has fallen quiet as a severe fuel crisis paralyzes the local fishing trade. Fishing boats are now sitting idle, unable to operate due to the escalating costs of diesel. This situation has effectively crippled Mumbai's once-thriving maritime economy, impacting numerous livelihoods. The crisis highlights the vulnerability of essential industries to fluctuating fuel prices and threatens the economic stability of the city's fishing community.
