will Panaji city get a Smart fish, mutton market?
PANAJI: Panaji is a Smart City of Goa. It needs Smart Fish market Our new, young, energetic,smart and dynamic city mayor, Rohit Monserratte and his father MLA, Atanacio alias Babush Monserratte want dull market should be converted into a smart fish market as rest of the market is looking smart which was constructed by the late Union Defence minister and chief minister, Manohar Parrikar, who deserves to be remembered for two things “Smart City Market and the Atal Sethu for decongesting the city market and Porvorim motorised traffic entering the city of Panaji.
“No doubt, many city ex-mayors had smart ideas but they could not convert them into reality. Only smart mayors could usher in the era of smartness, and contributed little, little to the city market like Tony Rodrigues and Surendra Furtado and now we have Rohit Monserratte,” stated a market visitor.
“If you go to see, there are many issues encountering the city market, like vehicle parking, wholesale fish market, mutton, meat and chicken stalls, wholesale vegetable market, and other vendors who conduct their business on the footpath and road side besides there is also problem of finding a place for rehabilitating kiosks which were displace from a spot near Don Bosco school, Miramar and other areas.
Corporation of City of Panaji finally has shifted the fish market outside the market under the newly erected make-shift shed comfortably on roads in between the Dempo House and the Royal Foods chicken shop. They were shifted in the shed on Monday morning and now they are comfortably conducting their business without any problems.
Corporation has also shifted the fish cutting people, clams sellers, shell -fish sellers, and dry fish vendors along with the fish sellers/vendors.
To begin with CCP had started sealing the meat, mutton and chicken selling stalls housed in a old dilapidated building and now it’s time to reconstruct and bringoin new and smart building in its place. As such CCP had served notices to these stall owners to vacate but they failed to honour. Instead they wrote a letter to the CCP urging them to provide a space for them to conduct the business but there was no reply and they continued their business but in the recent past CCP after the expiry of the deadline issued to them to vacate in January 2024 but it lapsed when the code of conduct for parliamentary election came into effect and there was stoic silence maintained from both sides but in the end stall owners had to suffer and now the matter is pending before the court.
