MARGAO
The illegal fish vendors have hit the streets with the licensed vendors having made to sit at home after authorities shut down the markets as per the district collector’s order.
While the city’s lone retail fish market at the SGPDA mega market complex remained shut for the third today, illegal fish vendors have begun to surface at the nook and corners of the city.
While the illegal fish vendors were much sought after in the city, with both the wholesale fish and retail fish shut down. The legal vendors have been left with no option but to stay indoors and comply with the lockdown order.
During the first wave of coronavirus around this time last year, illegal fish vendors had made brisk business by virtually converting the city’s nook and corners as fish markets.
While the Goa police had cracked a whip against the illegal fish vendors on the roadside, questions are being raised how the men in uniform will handle the illegal vendors in the Margao municipal area.
Meanwhile, Fatorda PI Kapil Nayak informed that he had deployed police force outside the wholesale fish market on Tuesday morning to crack a whip against illegal fish sale along the road.
He said the police would continue to patrol the wholesale fish market to keep the unscrupulous fish vendors at bay.
