On April 22, the Bombay High Court in Navi Mumbai criticized the Indian Union Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways and the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) for a 40-year delay in rehabilitating families displaced by the Jawaharlal Nehru Port project. The court was hearing a petition from the Maharashtra Small Scale Traditional Fish Workers Union on behalf of 256 families from Sheva Koliwada, who have been living in transit accommodation since 1986. The bench, consisting of Justices Manish Pitale and Shreeram V. Shirsat, expressed dissatisfaction with the ministry's affidavit, which failed to provide a concrete timeline for rehabilitation. The court highlighted that the affected families had relinquished their land in 1986 but remain in transit camps without permanent resettlement. The court ordered JNPA to ensure basic facilities at the transit camp, where drinking water is available only once every 15 days. It has scheduled a follow-up hearing for April 29, stressing the need for specific timelines to avoid further delays.
