I love the manifesto of the MNE as detailed by Floriano on the Goanet. They have covered most of the immediate requirements of our lovely Mapusa. The most important item which has not received their attention is the improvement in the Mapusa Fish Market as there in no mention of it anywhere. Can this market be demolished/rebuilt to bring it up to some quality and sanitation standards? During the past rainy season one had to walk in the fish market with umbrellas or raincoats because the market was open to the sky from the top as it did not have a covered roof !!!! Whilst walking you had to almost swim to check which fish to buy and from whom to buy as the floor was in such a terrible condition with broken tiles and puddles. The state of this market is so pathetic with the water puddles, open to sky, broken flooring, rotten fish on the floor, spitting around, etc. I would request the new MNE to kindly come up with a plan for a decent place for the fish vendors and vegetable vendors so that the general public can use these clean facilities in our Mapusa Market . I had an opportunity to visit the Panjim vegetable market. The place seems to be quite clean now with all the vendors sitting on raised level and doing their daily business, although the fish market in Panjim still needs a lot of improvement. Compared to Panjim market, the fish and vegetable markets in Mapusa are in a pathetic condition at the moment. The roads around and to the markets are also in same pathetic conditions. Our only request to the new MNE or whosoever wins the coming Municipal elections, PLEASE for the sake of all Mapsenkars, Bardezkars and Goans in general who visit Mapusa market, improve the basic necessities in the Mapusa Market and God will shower his blessings on you all !!!!
