Gujarat will soon have its first state–of-the art fish mall.
Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) has allotted land in Kishanwadi locality here for developing the mall. The civic body, at a meeting on Wednesday, approved the land allotment.
The plot was identified last year and its approval was pending before the General Board of the corporation, Dinesh Chokshi, Chairman of VMC Standing Committee, told PTI today.
The mall will come up in an area of 2,500 square metres, he said. In 2008, the Gujarat unit of the National Federation of Fishermen's Cooperatives Ltd had approached the civic bodies in Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, Rajkot, Bhavnagar and other coastal towns in the state for developing fish malls.
Vadodara was first to give a positive response to the project, said I G Parikh, Managing Director, Gujarat Fisheries Central Co-operative Association Ltd (GFCCAL).
VMC and GFCCAL will jointly develop the mall. The civic body will coordinate with the State Government regarding financial and legal matters, Chokshi said.Hygiene aspect and storage facility will be given top priority, he added.
