MARGAO
Only those who were fortunate could lay their hands on fish at the SGPDA fish market and the wholesale fish market as the Janata Curfew entered the second day on Monday.
While the fish market wore a deserted look, a couple of fish vendors made brisk business as fish-loving Madgavkars, who had to go without fish on Sunday, came in search of their staple food on Monday.
The fortunate amongst the lot could lay their hands on the fish available, but the choice was limited with
only a few varieties available for sale.
At the PDA wholesale fish market, the situation was no different. With the hope of laying their hands on fish, many a citizen headed to the wholesale fish market, only to find the market shut down. While the wholesale fish market wore a deserted look, a handful of vendors, selling fish outside the market, made brisk business.
Sole fish (lepos) were sold within no time as people were left with hardly any choice.
Inside the market, a fish vendor offered for sale baskets full of crabs and shrimps, drawing enthusiastic fish eaters, unmindful of the fact that the Janata Curfew was in place for the second
day on Monday.
