A fish-laden vehicle met with an accident at Main Police Point in the heart of Morigaon town after its tarpaulin tore, spilling the fish onto the road.
The vehicle was reportedly coming from the Bhurbandha side when the incident occurred. Seeing fish scattered and struggling on the water-covered road, some passers-by began collecting them.
The fish trader repeatedly shouted, appealing to people not to take the fish, saying they had been purchased for sale. Responding to his plea, some locals came forward to help collect the scattered fish.
The incident disrupted traffic in the area for some time. However, vehicular movement returned to normal after the fish were cleared from the road.
