Women fish vendors at the new Vasco fish market shed have complained about lack of water supply at the shed, waterlogging and dangerous overhanging branches. They have demanded that the Mormugao Municipal Council (MMC) act swiftly and provide them proper facilities. The vendors recently shifted to the temporary shed to make way for a new fish market complex at the location of their old shed.
A woman fish vendor said that they need to clean the market in the evening before leaving, but there is no provision for water supply. Further, the toilet facility too lacks proper water supply, which is an inconvenience to them, she said. Another vendor said that, on Sunday, a branch fell on the head of one woman sitting outside the shed. “Such incidents should not happen and precautions need to be taken,” she said.
