Shop Closures During Kurnool Inspections Trigger Consumer Suspicion

Officials visited Devanakonda to check whether shops were using correct weights and prices.

They looked at weighing machines, packages, and large 50-kilogram bags.

Many shops closed just before the inspections began.

This made local shoppers wonder whether the shopkeepers had received a warning.

Inspectors found one incorrect weighing scale at a vegetable shop.

The shop was given a penalty.

Consumers want every grocery and general store checked without advance notice.

They also want officials to explain the closures and publish the inspection results.
