Every time I visit Karwan Bazar, Dhaka to buy fish, vegetables, fruits, onions, sugar, rice etc. I feel that we are being cheated by the sellers of these products. The sellers always mention that their "weights" are all right, but consumers have no way to "check" the weights of the items purchased.

Prices of all items have gone up in recent times causing great hardship to the consumers. On top of it, the consumers are being cheated by the sellers. Therefore the government should take some drastic steps to protect the consumers.

I understand in Kolkata, West Bengal, the authorities have set up some system to protect the interests of the consumers. Possibly our government can look into this and initiate protective measures for the consumers.
