Goa: Mapusa fish market to be opened from tomorrow

SALIGAO: With the state government announcing more lockdown relaxations, the Mapusa Municipal Council (MMC) has taken a decision to re-open the fish market from Wednesday onwards, with social distancing restriction and following SOPs.
MMC chairperson Shubhangi Vaigankar, along with the municipal inspector, visited the fish market on Monday and inspected the complex. Vaigankar also inspected the vegetable market where municipal staff are cleaning the market.
“The state government has issued new guidelines which allows for reopening of fish markets. The Mapusa fish market will be open from Wednesday, following all SOPs,” Vaigankar told reporters. She added that social distancing norms will be adhered to strictly.
The fish, fruit and vegetable markets in the Mapusa municipal market have been shut since April 30 in view of the pandemic restrictions imposed by the state government. As a result, a parallel market along the roadside had started from the Aldona taxi stand, where social distancing norms are violated.
