New Delhi, Jan 1 : The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has, suo-moto, issued show cause notices to various companies for misleading and misguiding advertisements during the Covid-19 pandemic, an official statement said on Friday.
The Union Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution said that the CCPA has been taking proactive action for protecting the interest and rights of consumers. One of the functions of the CCPA envisaged in the Act is to review matters relating to, and the factors inhibiting the enjoyment of, consumer rights, including safeguards provided for the protection of consumers under any other law in force and recommend appropriate remedial measures for their effective implementation.
Punjab ministers to meet Goyal over RDF today

Two months after the Centre refused to keep a provision for Rural Development Fund (RDF) in the Cash Credit Limit extended for the current paddy procurement season, the state is still awaiting the amount even after Chief Minister Amarinder Singh took it up with the Union government.
If the Centre does not accede to the state’s demand by December 31, the CCL for paddy will lapse and the state would lose Rs 1,250 crore due to the state on account of RDF on paddy, Punjab Food Minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu told The Indian Express on Wednesday.
About the enforcement of the MSP, it said, “Since intermediaries play a vital role in the functioning of the market, at times they have advance contracts with farmers. In respect of all essential commodities, we should protect farmer’s interests by mandating through statutory provisions that no farmer-trader transaction should be below MSP, wherever prescribed”.
It had argued that that market intervention for perishable products could also be introduced on a cost sharing basis between Centre and the state.
“When the working group on consumer affairs that had the Chief Ministers of various states as its members had recommended about MSP for farmers’ crop, then why government is running from it?” questioned farm union leader, Sukhdev Singh Kokrikalan, General Secretary, Bharti Kisan Union (BKU) (Ugrahan).
