Colva police finally stopped the unauthorized sale of fish coming from neighbouring Maharashtra on the Western bypass at Seraulim past midnight by deploying personnel at the spot.
Before the fish transporting vehicles from Maharashtra and other places from the state could come at the site, just meters away from the wholesale market, which stands closed due to the lockdown, a couple of Colva police vehicles were already parked at the spot.
With the message going out that the police meant business, the fish transporting vehicles avoided the Western bypass which was converted into a makeshift wholesale fish market for the last five days.
The unauthorized sale of fish at the Western bypass falling under the jurisdiction of Seraulim village had raised many eyebrows with questions being raised how fish was being sold at the spot when the SGPDA wholesale fish market was shut down because of the ongoing lockdown.
Eyebrows were also raised over the sale of fish since the vehicles either came from Maharashtra or local ones unloaded the fish from vehicles coming from the neighbouring state.
