I gave the salesperson Rs. 1,000 and he gave me Rs. 720 after requesting an additional Rs. 10. When I saw the price card I noticed that the price was Rs. 283. Therefore, I gave him Rs. 3 and requested to return the Rs. 10 to which he retorted that their price was Rs. 290.
(Please note that I had to turn the price card in order to see the price as this had been kept with the reverse /blank side facing the customer). I must also mention that there was no receipt given for the above transaction.
This is to suggest that the Consumer Affairs Authority should conduct raids on and off on these dealers and the gas company should cancel their franchise to market this product. Those authorised should take some punitive action against this sort of dealers who overcharge customers to prevent any recurrence in the future.

Admit it. The headline hooked you. Hope you won’t be disappointed. There are no gory scenes featuring dismembered limbs here. However you might read about the long arm of the law being truncated. Perhaps a chilling scene where the mask of the murde

If Sri Lanka wants to get out of the present miserable situation, it needs to make a profound change, a paradigm shift in the way it views at everything including the religious, political and economic issues. Such a change could be made only by loo

Sri Lanka is today facing a domestic labour shortage in some key sectors and industries. While demographic, social attitudes, expansion of the economy and outward labour emigration are contributing to the shortfall. Generally a lack of interest in ce
