The fisheries minister inaugurated the first of its kind retail outlet – ‘Macher Mojlish’ in Silchar, whereby an initiative has been taken by the fisheries department to ensure that fresh fish is delivered to customers in proper hygienic conditions.
The concept also includes a delivery service, where fish would be delivered to people’s doorsteps once customers call up at a designated number and place their orders. A delivery service network has also been set up in this regard.
During the inauguration, Parimal Suklabaidya handed over bike keys to the delivery guys commencing the launch of the programme. The event saw the participation of Silchar MLA Dilip Kumar Paul, DC Keerthi Jalli among others.
