Congratulations to the Legal Metrology Dept South Zone-1 team led by Nitin P Purushan for conducting raids in various shops in Margao for checking the weighing instruments and violation of packaged commodities act 2009. Today the consumer is taken for a ride by shopkeepers because the consumer is not bothered to spend a few seconds to check on the violations because he thinks the shopkeeper is doing his duty faithfully but with many spurious and duplicate commodities entering the market everyone wants to make a quick buck at the cost of the ignorant consumer. The Legal Metrology Dept should be conducting these raids frequently all over Goa, I am sure a thousand violators will be booked in a few months. Please keep up the good work. Cheated consumers whether local or tourist bring a bad name to Goa as a tourist destination. I hope Goa CM receives the award for implementing consumer rights-- Jago Grahak award.
