TMC had sought help from current fish market's contractor Khaja and had asked him to inform the fish vendors to shift their businesses to the new building.

If we change our location, we will lose lots of customer and it will be very difficult for us to sustain” said a woman who sell fishes here.

As it is the orders from the Government we need to follow it” Devraj added. "If there is any problem you can bring it to the notice of Town Municipality council” –he added.
