Not to give pain to consumers: President

President Mohammed Shahabuddin has urged all traders and businessmen not to give any pain to consumers during the month of Ramadan.

In a message on Thursday, on the eve of World Consumer Rights Day, President Mohammed Shahabuddin made the call. 

The World Consumer Rights Day will be observed in the country on Friday like elsewhere in the world with the theme ‘Smart Bangladesh Gori, Voktar Sarthey Krittim Buddhimotta Bebohar Kori’.

President Mohammed Shahabuddin, in his message, said consumer right is a universal and fair right.

Buying and selling goods and providing services according to rules and laws make people's life normal and comfortable, added the head of the state.

For this purpose, it is essential to ensure quality in every field including food production, processing, storage and marketing, he said.

The government has enacted the 'Consumer Rights Protection Act, 2009' to ensure consumer rights, he said, adding that there is no substitute for the collective efforts of the people, public representatives, businessmen and public servants for the proper implementation of the law.

“We expect that all the concerned institutions including the Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection will faithfully perform the duties assigned to them side by side implementing the law to protect the rights of the people of the country,” he said.
