MMC Chairperson Girish Borker stated that official notices have been issued to the vendors, instructing them to vacate the temporary structure. He added that the Council has been paying a yearly rent of ₹5 lakh to the Revenue Department for the land on which the temporary shed was constructed, and the shift would ease the civic body’s financial burden.
The relocation marks the final step in a long-awaited upgrade for Vasco’s fish trade infrastructure, with the new market expected to provide improved hygiene, facilities, and convenience for vendors and customers alike.
