Furthermore Gulf Times reports that the action is also meant to offset price manipulation and expose violations pertaining to counterfeit goods and non-conformance with standard specifications.
Inspectors from the ministry fined the centre and ordered its closure for a month in line with article (7) of law number (8) of 2008.
The ministry has also said it is determined to protect consumer rights and added that it will intensify its inspection campaigns to crack down on all violations of the consumer protection law.
The MEC has urged all consumers to report any violations to its Consumer Protection and Anti-Commercial Fraud department and send complaints and suggestions through its communication channels.
When will we start seeing standardized price for water atleast. Some places it's 6 riyal for small bottle. You can get the same bottle for 1 riyal :-/
Some people learn the hard way! The believe they can get away with anything until they don't!
Another one, I think they closed one just few weeks ago for the same issue and now again, they keep coming back even after others have been caught, when will these people learn!!!
