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

Mumbai's Sassoon Dock, built in 1875, has fallen silent due to soaring diesel prices exceeding $1.20 per litre. Fishermen like Shekhar Chogle are forced to keep their boats docked, leading to a significant drop in income. The crisis also affects fishing communities across India and Asia, threatening their livelihoods. Despite a ceasefire agreement between Iran, the United States, and Israel, analysts warn that fuel supply normalization will take time.
