Karnataka Vehicles Carrying Fish Violating rules and polluting the area

“ Fear and anxiety in the minds of Goans and locals or Seraulim due to the hap-hazard parking of vehicles carrying fish all along the road which leads to the new seraulim railway underpass and laying thermocol boxes all along the road which further creates a mess on the road, and eventually several broken thermocol boxes are thrown in the river Sal as well kept lying on the road side,which causes pollution. Traffic is hampered due to illegal parking, garbage on the road and river is polluted due to this entire pratice being allowed and continued. The Govt must strictly STOP this illegal parking and provide them a safe area to park these vehicles, and the govt must immidiately engage an authority to everyday wash that entire wholesale fish market road with a water tanker like how we did during the G20 to show the delegates that our Goan roads are clean.\"
