A fish market gasps for breath

Kochi | Friday | 6th July, 2018

Summary:

The number of mini-trucks and autorickshaws of vendors who come to purchase fish is double that of sellers’ vehicles,” said Martin, a fish vendor at the market. Bullock carts would remain stationed in the areas surrounding the market.The once-busy market is now an untidy area choked by vehicles and vendors. Some 30-40 trucks and mini-trucks laden with fish would come from different parts of the state like Thiruvananthapuram , Kollam, Alappuzha , Munambam, Ponnani and Kannur . The vendors would come from different parts of Ernakulam and neighbouring districts like Idukki for purchasing fish. Once this is realized, vehicles from the market can go to other side of the road through the space below the bridges..
