Exploitation by seller Exploitation by seller

4 years ago

The issue won't look as a big deal here in Arunachal Pradesh now at presently due to covid lock down we as consumers are exploited again.I went to buy a sugar since I needed half kg they told me they only have 1kg or 300 gm so I was asked to go for one I planned to take for 300 GM for which they are charging me 30 rs which is extra since they are giving us 60rs a kilo for sugar. And I couldn't purchase I kg one since I only have 50 rs. I asked them why they are charging so high for which they responded by asking me to leave. I know this look a silly question when we are indeed at a worst situation with covid 19 case but this issue of harassment is more or less disrupting our daily live too.

There are government circulars regarding overpricing amid covid.
You can file a complaint at the local police station and you can also share your experience on social media by tagging all the concerned departments and authorities.

A.Dear Client,

Overpricing in times of emergency is not correct. Stringent action is being taken against sellers who overcharge either for necessities or medicines. You may lodge a complaint with the local police regarding the same. Also, you may write on the social media page of your government or lodge a grievance with the government's official website.

Post this pandemic, you are also entitled to file a complaint before the Consumer Forum.
