The old fish market building of Panaji used to cater to the needs of every Goan without discriminating anyone on the basic of religion since the last so many years. In fact, one could get not just fresh fish and mutton but the best of quality beef under one single roof inside the old fish market building. Unfortunately, that is not the case anymore as the entire said old Panjim fish market building was demolished a year back by the CCP (citing a 'report' from the Goa Engineering College's civil engineering department which had deemed the building unsafe for human occupation) and a temporary ugly shed-like structure was hurriedly constructed as a new fish market. Well, today one can see only the fish vendors sitting in the new fish market or shed and doing their business as usual. Unfortunately, the beef vendors who were evicted during the above demolition are still seen missing. Now it is learnt that some poultry, mutton and beef vendors from the Panaji market are to be accommodated adjacent to the fish market this week. Hope this finally comes to pass for the sake of people in Panaji.
