The market will also include designated areas for wholesale and retail vendors, as well as space for fish processing and packaging. Additionally, the facility will have amenities such as clean drinking water, sanitation facilities, and adequate lighting for vendors and customers alike.
The construction of the modern fish market is a part of the government’s larger initiative to support marginalized communities and promote economic growth in the state. By providing SC fish vendors with a modern and well-equipped marketplace, the government aims to not only improve their livelihoods but also contribute to the overall development of the region.
Mayor Dipak Majumdar expressed his support for the project, stating, “The construction of the modern fish market will not only benefit SC vendors but also enhance the overall shopping experience for consumers. This initiative will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the local economy and help in creating a more sustainable marketplace.”
The government has set a target of completing the construction of the market within the next year, with plans to inaugurate the facility in a grand ceremony. The project is expected to create job opportunities for local laborers and boost the local economy through increased business activities in the area.
Overall, the construction of the ₹35 crore modern fish market in Agartala is a significant step towards promoting inclusivity and economic development in Tripura, as well as uplifting the livelihoods of SC fish vendors in the region.
