Protection of rights of consumers is a must to boost business and trade activities in the country and the government is fully aware of its responsibilities in this regard, Punjab Minister for Industries, Commerce and Investment Muhammad Shafiq said while addressing a seminar on the occasion of International Consumer’s Rights Day.
Shafiq said the government had chalked out a new price control policy to protect rights of the consumers. The government would leave no stone unturned in implementation of the policy, he added.
The effective implementation of the policy could only be possible if consumers played their due role, he said. “We will take every possible measures to protect consumer rights but it is also the duty of every citizen to keep himself aware of his rights and obligations,” the minister said.
