Ponnampet; Residents of Ponnampet alleged that fish vendors in Ponnampet are selling fish for exorbitant prices. They said that a Kg Mathi (sardine) fish is being sold at Rs 160 in Begur. They said Begur is just a Kilometre away from Ponnampet, and fish are supplied daily, from Kerala by the same merchant. They said the cost of Bangude fish is Rs 220 in Ponnampet while it is Rs 160 in Begur. They said Ponnampet GP is auctioning the fish market at higher prices while Balyamundur GP auctions at a lesser price. In Ponnampet, fish vendors are raising the bid price owing to competition, hence they have to sell at a higher price, which is a burden for people.
