SRINAGAR, APRIL
12: A team of Legal Metrology Department
(LMD) today penalized a non-local confectionary manufacturing unit for unfair
trade practices.
“Prompted
by public complaints that a non-local confectionary manufacturing unit is
indulging in selling underweight items, a team of LMD under the supervision on
Deputy Controller (Enforcement) Kashmir visits various Srinagar markets to
ascertain the genuineness of the complaints,” a statement of the Department
said.
It was observed
that the declared net weight on the label of milk candy packs was lesser in
weight by about 20g in each pack which is beyond the permissible error in net
contents, the statement added.
Accordingly, a
challan was compounded and a fine of Rs 15000 was imposed on the erring
confectionary unit.
