our market system and corruption

no calibration of machines. in market there are so many technicians / experts who set the machine for 50 gramor 20 gram according to shopkeepers demand. machine is set to weigh that quantity less as per setting and shopkeeper shows us 00.
it happens ,becz there is one way trading of weighing items and give to customers, always less, which we cant check,becz scale shows 00.
lacks of machines are in market .weights and measures dept is doing nothing for this,actually their capacity covers the population of 1950, when these deptts were made.
expansion according to need and population is never thought.
only auto mation can help, with sealed machines.
pathatic condition of market and system.
leaders are busy in coalition and chair.
if govt employees take action, market unions close the market. they know that one day loss , they will easily recover tomorrow and cheating practices will always remain a boon to them.
votebank politics is also a hindrance, more

If the manpower is the problem for checking all the machines , can take the help of recognized and trained volunteer on payment per case. Say outsourcing? more  
It is a large social issue - DISHONESTY for self gains has taken deep roots in our society. No Govt of a Govt official will be in a position to control it. Under the existing condition, the solution is vigilance by the customer. Check the weight at your end. If you repeatedly find less weight, take up the matter with shopkeeper or patronize other shop. more  
EVERY CUSTOMER, WHO HAVE DOUBT CAN ASK FOR THE SEAL OF W&M PEOPLE, IF NOT OBJECT, AND THE CONCERNED OFFICERS PHONE NO'S SHALL BE WRITTEN AT SHOP COUNTER, FOR ANY GRIEVANCE REPORTS. NOW W DAYS WHO IS BOTHERED, WILL FIND ANY OBSERVAGTIONS OF MUNCIPAL/R&B/WEIGHTS AND MEASURES OFFICERS OF THEIR CONCERNED WORKS. JAI SRI RAM. more  
W&M wont come in time after giving the complaint. Then No Action is Taken. more  
In our good old " trazoo " we could check if the shopkeeper was " dandi maar ".... in these machines,this is outright cheating which we can neither guess nor check.......God help the customer....God help India.....! more  
Unless corruption is eradicated, only God can help the citizens. more
