Rs 3cr fish market to be built in Jeypore
1 2 3 Koraput: To provide fish vendors a dedicated, hygienic, and well-equipped space for trade in Jeypore, the Koraput district administration has initiated steps to construct a modern fish market. According to the plan, the Rs 3-crore facility will be built over an acre of land. It will accommodate around 60 fish vendors, each provided with designated space, water supply for cleaning, a godown for storage, proper drainage, and other modern amenities. Jeypore tehsildar Chittaranjan Patnaik said a few potential land patches within the town have already been identified for the project. Once the final site is approved by the concerned department, the process for land transfer will be initiated and construction work will start, he added. According to officials, fish vendors currently operate at scattered locations across the town, often in unhygienic conditions, particularly around the non-vegetarian market and street corners. This not only affects the town's cleanliness but also gives rise to an unpleasant environment. "The purpose of the proposed fish market is to provide a hygienic environment for fish vendors and reduce pollution caused by unregulated fish vending across the town," said Sagar Kumar Ram, district fisheries officer, Koraput. Jeypore is a key hub for fish trade in the district, accounting for majority of sales out of the district's annual demand of over 17 metric tonnes.
