SRINAGAR, JULY 24: A Restaurant was penalized today here
for exaggerated Maximum Retail Price (MRP) on packaged drinking water
bottles by officials of Legal Metrology Department.
Following a complaint, a team of the Department inspected the
restaurant and found that the restaurant is offering packaged drinking water to
its customers at Rs 30 whereas as MRP of identical product manufactured by the
same firm in the open market is only Rs. 20.
The management of the restaurant was booked for the unfair trade
practice and the notice was served to the manufacturer for indulging in
differential/dual MRPs of the same quantity of product in the same city.
It was said that the Department recently booked about one dozen
restaurants in the city for over-charging/dual MRPs on soft drinks/mineral
water bottles etc.
The management of hotels/restaurants are informed not to charge more
than the MRP in their premises nor offer bottled water at exaggerated rates, a
statement of the LMD said.
