Shop owners’ association fined Tk 1 lakh in Ctg
A mobile court yesterday fined Chattogram Shopping Complex Shop Owners’ Association Tk one lakh for not attaching price tags to products in shops.
The mobile court led by Executive Magistrate and Assistant Commissioner of Kattoli Circle Md Towhidul Islam and Executive Magistrate Md Ali Hasan went to the market in guise of customers to monitor it in the morning.
To their surprise, the magistrates found that most of the shops had no price tags in their products, and they were charging exorbitant prices from customers ahead of Eid, said magistrate Towhidul.
Later they conducted a drive in the market and fined the shop owners’ association Tk one lakh. They also asked the association to ensure that all products have price tags attached within 24 hours.
“If they fail to do so we will fine each shop individually in future drives,” the magistrate added.
Earlier on Friday night, the same court also fined Mimi Super Market Shop Owners’ Association Tk one lakh for charging extra prices.
