SANGUEM
A fisherwoman at the Curchorem fish market had a lucky escape when the wooden rafter at the fish market complex broke and came crashing down.
The incident reportedly
occurred during busy business hours on Thursday morning, when people visit the fish market to buy fish and meat.
“Luckily, the fisherwoman seated right below the wooden rafter moved to the side on hearing sounds of the wooden rafter giving way. Otherwise, a major tragedy would have taken place,” sources informed The Goan.
Following the incident, shop owners adjacent to the market complex also expressed concern and feared that other portions of the roof could also give way, if repairs were not undertaken immediately.
A vendor deplored the condition of the fish market and said the structure needed considerable improvement with improved infrastructural facilities.
“Incidentally, while municipal tax collectors regularly come to collect the Sopo tax, no efforts are made to undertake repairs or to improve the condition of the market complex,” said the vendor.
