PANJIM, JULY 22 Fish vendors operating in the Panjim market, selling stale and rotten fish will be in trouble if they continue with their unhealthy trade practices. Soon there will be weekly checks to keep watch on fish vendors cheating consumers.Health Minister Vishwajeet Rane stated on the floor of the House, during Zero Hour, on Thursday, that his department in co-ordination with Urban Development Minister will see that weekly inspections are carried out in the Panjim fish market. He was replying to a “Zero Hour” question posed by St Cruz MLA Victoria Fernandes complaining that fish vendors royally cheat people by selling stale and rotten fish and there have been no checks whatsoever on their activities.The prices of fish have gone up and when consumers spent Rs 150-200 to buy a small portion of fish, there’s no guarantee that they will get a good deal. “Vendors cheat consumers by keeping fish in ice as it appears fresh for sometime but later it stinks,” she pointed out urging the government to do something.

I feel sorry for these Goans taking fish home only to find out that is rotten."Refund? No but cheated". The stink in the city is the cause of 40 Cheating Vendors occupying the parliament house with their with their stinking fishy deeds.They are squatters and must be evicted and the place handed to the rightful owners "The True Goans"
