4-day navy celebrations sink ferry owners' dreams

The Navy puts up a grand show annually to commemorate India's victory in the 1971 war against Pakistan on December 3-4. However this year the Navy wants to indulge in the celebrations for four days, instead of two (Dec 1-4).The Navy has already written to the Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT) asking to it keep the port around the Gateway of India shut for the commercial boats. However, the move has not gone down well with ferryboat owners, who have decided to protest against it.
