Economic Centres to display price lists

by Uditha KUMARASINGHE

The Co-operatives and Internal Trade Ministry has decided to take stern action against the traders in Economic Centres who have not displayed price lists in their shops.

Instructions have already been issued to the Ministry officials to intensify raids and take stern action against such errant traders by taking back their shops, Co-operatives and Internal Trade Minister Johnston Fernando told the Sunday Observer yesterday. The Minister said that his Ministry had received a large number of complaints that some traders in these Economic Centres have not displayed their price lists. Ministry officials have already been instructed to give final notice to all such shop owners in Economic Centres to display their price lists before the deadline, September 13 (Monday).

Therefore, traders in the Economic Centres should display their price lists before Monday. Failure to comply with this will result in such shops being taken back by the Government with immediate effect, he said.
