New outlets for fresh fish from Chilika

Odisha is setting up fresh fish stalls in different locations to sell fish from the Chilika Lake. The fish will be sold at rates stipulated by the government. The fisheries and animal resource department is about to complete work on these two Chilika Fresh shops at Kharavela Nagar and Rasulgarh. The first such shop was set up at Siripur in 2014 and, subsequently, two more came up at Nayapalli and Saheed Nagar in the following years. Once the two new outlets come up in Kharavela Nagar and Rasulgarh, the city of Bhubaneswar will boat of five such fish shops.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 18 May 2017.

These shops will sell fresh fish, crab, prawn, shrimp and other related products at reasonable prices. Later, there are plans to start selling dry fish, canned fish and fish pickle very soon. It seems the fisheries and animal resource department would open 100 such outlets in various parts of the state within six months.
Such an action would benefit the consumers and also the fishermen. Fishfed, an apex body of all primary fishermen's cooperative societies in the state, is the brain behind the concept of Chilika Fresh. Fishfed has more than 300 societies comprising 70,000 fishermen.
