The tender process for this purpose was opened on July 17th and that too not in a proper manner.

It is reported that this ice factory has the capacity to produce 1024 cubes of ice each weighing 50 kg, netting a monthly profit of Rs. 1 million.

However, the Fisheries Corporation General Workers Union alleged that the leasing of this profit making ice plant is a first step in the privatisation process of the entire Fisheries Corporation.
