Meetings with vendors held to ensure compliance
With the market inside Kasimedu Fishing Harbour getting around 2,000 visitors a day, the Fisheries Department has begun creating awareness of the importance of wearing masks and personal distancing among retail customers. Along with the police, staff of the department have been going to the market by 5 a.m. every day to ensure compliance. They have been distributing masks to those who do not have them. “We usually get crowds on Wednesdays and during the weekends. But since sale of fish is not permitted on the weekends due to the pandemic, weekdays are witnessing huge footfalls as well,” a Fisheries Department official said.More Related News
