Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, Dhanraj Gurung, has expressed concerns over consumer fraud in various circumstances.
Inaugurating the second general assembly of the Federation of Nepali Consumer Protection (FNCP) here on Tuesday, the Minister was concerned about the continued violation of consumer rights. He added that despite frequent incidences of market monitoring, Nepali consumers continued to fall victim to various unethical marketing practices.
According to the Minister, improvement of consumer rights has been elusive due to the desire for quick benefits in the business. He asserted that anyone responsible for violation of consumer rights be brought to the book. He urged the business community to conduct their affairs with honesty and integrity.
Federation Chairperson Chandra Saud sought the facilitating role from the government to get the Federation registered at the National Registration. He demanded the representation of Federation in all relevant bodies and the establishment of a dedicated high-powered market monitoring team to promote consumer rights.---
