Panjim’s Fish market serves Capital Stench for Smart City residents

Though Goa boasts of high human development indices, Panjim’s filthy fish market will put anyPonjekar to shame. Early morning fish lovers have to dodge the narrow passages of the fish market, and the slippery floor to fetch their prized ‘catch’. Fisherwomen complained that at many places the gutters are open and the roof is leaking. One woman said sewage water was passing through a section of the market. The market has no water, no toilets for men and women. The fish cleaning waste is dumped in the gutters. Why has the Smart City not paid attention to constructing a decent market, since the present one is situated on the road?
