Muscat: In response to the weather condition, the Consumer Protection Authority has developed a detailed strategy to address its impact. This strategy involves the formation of teams that will monitor the markets in the governorates during both morning and evening shifts. Additionally, a dedicated team will be responsible for receiving and following up on consumer reports. The Authority will also establish communication channels with various commercial institutions to ensure the availability of goods and maintain market stability, thereby preventing shopkeepers from taking advantage of the current situation.
Furthermore, the Authority has urged suppliers and merchants to strictly adhere to consumer protection laws and regulations. By doing so, they can avoid legal consequences and refrain from exploiting the current circumstances to unjustly increase prices or disrupt market stability.
