SETAR: Consumers have been advised to exercise caution when buying jewellery and to not easily be fooled by advertisements by jewellery shops especially when they offer unusual prices.
Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) enforcement director Azman Adam said even though the ministry provided laws that traders have to abide by, consumers needed to be wary to protect themselves from loss-making transactions.
He said consumers should buy gold at the right places, adding that they should not be fooled by prices that are out of the ordinary for it might involve doubtful elements.

Wheat procurement kicked off in Punjab on Saturday with the arhtiyas calling off their proposed strike after Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh ordered various steps to ensure their continued involvement in the process and immediate release of their pending payments of Rs 131 crore without waiting for dues to come from the FCI.
On the Chief Minister’s directives, the State Food Department has amended the procurement software so that the arhtiyas will continue to be involved in the process of release of payments to the farmers, albeit in a modified manner, while farmers get their payments in their bank accounts within 48 hours, as mandated by the state government.
