Summary:
Nancy Rebello from Dongrim-Navelim said, “I purchased the monsoon catch like ‘galbo’ from the Margao fish market. Business is very slow also because people are not purchasing fish as enthusiastically due to fear of carcinogenic elements in their seafood. “I bought it as our family cannot go a single day without eating the staple food item,” he said.Others, however, preferred to maintain caution. In Panaji, only two trucks have been turning up instead of the usual five to six trucks. PANAJI: Breaking his silence two days after the revelation that fish brought into Goa from other states was being laced with cancer-causing chemical, chief minister Manohar Parrikar on Saturday issued directives to the food and drugs administration (FDA) that all trucks carrying adulterated food items be seized.Parrikar’s announcement comes following the surprise check by the FDA at the Margao wholesale fish market on Thursday..
