Empower Consumers

Consumers are supposed to enjoy the right to get quality products at fair prices. But very few of us, regardless of our literacy or illiteracy are concerned about our rights. All of us are silent consumer and do not raise our voice against the unethical businessmen. Taking the opportunity of our unconsciousness regarding our rights, the unethical businessmen are kicking our rights. But consumers have legitimate rights to protest the unlawful activities of the businessmen such as unconditional price hike, selling low quality products, keeping expired products in store etc. I also request our commerce ministry to take initiative to empower the consumers through educating them about their rights and responsibilities before taking other meaningless steps.
