Nagaland’s Bold Consumer Act To Nail Illegal Activists,Inspiration To Rest Northeast

Health matters, Nagaland has cautioned with bold measure by implementing strict action against the illegal practitioner

to protect consumer rights.

Even Naga Hospital Authority Kohima (NHAK) had fallen into serious court threat when a couple registered a case with the police for selling to them expired drug by its pharma section.

Such act illegal activists for playing with consumer will be nailed down under consumer act according to the President of the Nagaland Voluntary Consumers Organisation (NVCO) Kezhokhoto Savi.

Strongly condemning NHAK act, Kezhokhoto pointed that NVCO won’t tolerate expiry medicine supply. According to Kezhokhoto it is necessary for consumer to become aware about their rights by taking measure to analyze on product’s validity like reliable trade mark and brand, quality and quantity details, MRP price tag to restrain from cheat, accurate weight and expiry date, understand information labeled on goods, preserve cash memo and receipts including documents.

  

Present scenario why the state government is failing to protect consumer act and price rise is due to lack of observation on fund-raising action like festive-season price hike, illegal money demand at check gate, newspaper as mode of donation, allowance of sub-standard goods sale, fuel adulteration, etc.,

It is vital for the government to make consumer aware that they worth what they are consuming from the day of their birth and avoid sealing information and supply limitation.
