Plea to shift dry fish market at Jagiroad

A CORRESPONDENT

JAGIROAD: Asia's biggest dry fish market at Jagiroad is causing concern for the people here.

Big trucks loaded with dry fish are haphazardly parked on both sides of the busy station road, causing traffic snarls in the area. Moreover, the smell of decomposed dry fish makes it difficult for the people living nearby. The dry fish market does not have proper sewage and sanitation facilities leading to an unhygienic environment as street dogs and crows scatter rotten dry fish here and there.

People have urged the authorities concerned to shift the market to the outskirts of the town and to develop the market in a planned way.
