This market is very big, most of the fish traders here are old people, most of them are not aware of technology. However, there are several young traders here who are knowledgeable about technology, but they also do not use mobile banking facilities to transact. So you have to carry cash to buy all kinds of fish here. Even if you do not have cash, there is no problem, there are many mobile banking business centers in the market from where you can withdraw money and buy fish.

Most of the space in this market is government. This government space has a high-rise structure where 15 to 20 shops can sell fish together. However, those shops have to pay a government toll. There are also adequate facilities and lighting. There are 4 such structures here that have been built by the government and most of the shops sell fish sitting on the market floor. However, they also have to pay a government toll for this space. The environment here is clean. There is a washroom next to it. There is a transport service to buy more fish here but you have to pay for it yourself. The environment here is always noisy. Because the fish market is very crowded.

I come to this market with my father to buy fish. When a relative comes to my house, I need big fish. I go to this market to buy these big fish. Yesterday I also went to this market to see big fish, but I could not buy fish here because the comparative price was very high. It can be said that I buy fish from this market once or twice a month. Besides, my father buys fish from this market.

When buying fish from these shops, I give the most importance to the cleanliness and friendliness of the establishment. Everyone here sells fish at almost the same price. I buy fish from the shopkeeper whose behavior I find the best. Because through good behavior, they always try to give me good fish. Those who have good behavior also cut the fish and pack it for me after purchasing it. Which I like.
