    MR Baikampady congratulation on this much waited move. Hope your side trackers atleast will not be able to digest this. Your previous move with fresh fish stall in a hygenic way was actually very long sighted , But alas the community has such short sighted leaders who donto want the society chagne at the way they address fisher folk or the attitude about fisher women.
