Consumer rights activists urged to create awareness among people 3/16/2015 11:03:44 PM Early Times Report Reasi, Mar 16: Assistant Director Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution Kewal Krishan called upon consumer forums and consumer rights associations to create awareness among people to insist on quality of the product and improve the attitude of questioning in them. Legal Metrology Department's Assistant Controller Rajesh Heera said that unscrupulous traders would do injustice to consumers till the latter did not come forward to file cases. Heera stressed upon the improvement of awareness on consumer rights among women. He said the Consumers Act brought about by the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1986 proved to be very useful. If injustice is meted out to consumers, they have every right to claim compensation up to Rs.20 lakh at district forum and Rs.1 crore at State forum.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
