Consumer protection association demands transparency for consumers of Aavin products in the Nilgiris
The Coonoor Consumer Protection association has demanded that Aavin outlets and local farmers' markets in the Nilgiris issue formal bills of sale to customers. Additionally, the group is calling for stricter regulation of mini-bus fares and the mandatory display of fare charts.
Why it matters
This reflects local grassroots efforts to improve consumer rights, transparency, and fair pricing in regional markets and public transport.
The Coonoor Consumer Protection has demanded that bills of sale be given to consumers purchasing Aavin products as well as to consumers patronising the farmers’ market in Udhagamamandalam.
The association made the demands during its monthly meeting held recently, where they said that consumers purchasing products at Aavin outlets were not being given bills of sale in the Nilgiris. They added that bills were also not being issued for produce being sold at the farmers’ market in Udhagamandalam.
They demanded that the Aavin management as well as the Horticulture Department ensure that bills of sale are given to consumers.
