The fish market located in the Sijubari region of the city has been a major cause for concern for both the sellers and the buyers of fish. The pitiable condition of the market itself and the location of the market near the drainage channels raise questions regarding hygiene. The Sijubari fish market is one of the biggest markets for local fish in the city, but it has faced serious neglect from the authorities for a long time.
Although the locals as well as the fish sellers have made multiple requests and complaints over the years, no steps have been taken towards its renovation or maintenance. The market is also the reason for major traffic woes in the vicinity because of the lack of ample parking spaces. It remains to be seen if the local authorities, especially the Guwahati Municipal Corporation, will look into the development and maintenance of this market in the days to come
