CAA to Conduct Awareness Programs and Raids During Vesak Season

Date:

The Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) has announced that it will conduct awareness programs and carry out raids across Sri Lanka during the Vesak season to ensure fair pricing and protect consumers. The focus will be on monitoring vendors and products commonly associated with the Vesak celebrations, including Atapirikara, religious offerings, incense sticks, decorative items, and electric bulbs.

Special attention will be given to prevent overpricing and ensure that businesses comply with consumer protection regulations. The CAA will also implement a targeted program in the Nuwara Eliya District, aligning with the state Vesak celebrations in the area.

The authority aims to safeguard the public from unfair practices during the peak season of the religious festival, ensuring that all goods and services related to Vesak are sold at reasonable prices and meet the required quality standards.
