The SGPDA market in Margao is where half of South Goa buys it’s fruits and vegetables from but the conditions there are pathetic . Choked drains without covers, discarded crates, plastic bags, overflowing sewerage manholes, stagnant water, cattle feasting on rotting produce, etc are indeed unpleasant sights.
Visiting the market is an exercise fraught with danger which entails dodging feral dogs, cats, mosquitoes and bovines.
The interiors of the market too are very unhygienic too. The Margao Municipality should deploy sanitation staff to maintain hygiene in the area as it regulary collects hefty taxes and other charges from the shop keepers there.
