Today, i happened to help a Senoir Citizen in Chennai to bring Ration from a near-by Fair price shop. I was surprised to notice that these Fair price outlets designated by TN Govt. are forcing consumers to buy open market products at a really high price. Example - Channa Dal being sold at RS. 100/ KG. The important aspect than the price itself is the packed Channa Dal NOT having MRP printed. How can a Fair price shop (designated by Govt. agency) sell open market product (Forcefully to consumers) without MRP being mentioned? Need advise. more
