Fish‑market sellers in Quepem, Goa, have appealed to local authorities for an immediate clean‑up of the premises.
Vendors operating at the Quepem fish market in Goa have formally requested that municipal officials carry out a comprehensive cleaning of the market area. The sellers say that the buildup of fish waste, discarded shells and other refuse is affecting daily operations.
Market traders argue that the unhygienic conditions pose health risks to both workers and customers, and could undermine the market's reputation as a key source of fresh seafood for the region. They have highlighted the need for regular waste removal, proper drainage and sanitation facilities.
Local authorities have been approached with the vendors' concerns, and officials indicated that they are reviewing the request. No specific timeline for the clean‑up has been announced, and the vendors continue to press for prompt action to restore the market's cleanliness.
