“The State produced around three lakh tonnes of fish in 2019-20. We will be releasing fish seedlings into all the water bodies for the current fiscal as well,” he said.

The mobile fish outlets will also provide livelihood to members of the fishermen community in tune with the vision of Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao who has been encouraging traditional occupations to strengthen the rural economy. The mobile outlets will be equipped with all machinery, including deboning, dressing etc to offer fresh and quality fish meat and ice boxes, mini-refrigerators. In addition to this, they will also offer tasty fish curries of different varieties in the colonies and other places of the city.
