Highlights

  • Preparing to deploy 56 teams daily from three agencies

As the festival approaches, the market becomes crowded with shoppers. The number of common people leaving the valley is also the same. Common people do some shopping before going back to their village. But as everyone is in a hurry at this time, there is a possibility that the general public will be cheated.

Taking advantage of the crowd, some businessmen even sell expired goods of poor quality. In addition, the price can also be taken quickly. It is said that the hoteliers on the highway are also likely to serve poor quality food and on the other hand they charge higher prices.

Only 14 days left for Ghatasthapana. The main commercial area is also crowded for shopping. In view of that, the government has been saying that it will carry out special monitoring. However, every year the government has been conducting special monitoring aimed at festivals. Continuing the tradition of the past, the government has said that it will conduct special monitoring this time as well.

Department of Commercial Supply and Consumer Protection has increased the number of monitoring teams since August 31. Rajan Paudel, director general of the department, said that the number of monitoring teams will be increased to 14 in a few days. We have increased the number of 3 teams per day from 31 August to 6 teams. From Friday, we will deploy 3 more teams (two teams will be led by the director and will also monitor the monitoring) in the market," Director General Poudel said, "The Central Market Monitoring Committee is having a meeting on Friday, we will request more staff in the meeting. If the number is available, we will monitor with 14 teams from the department. The monitoring team monitors up to 50 firms a day.

Last year, with one and a half months left to Dasain, the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration deployed staff to speed up the monitoring. The number of monitoring was also increased. This year, the Ministry of General Administration has not assigned staff for monitoring. That is why the number of monitoring is less, the department says. However, Director General Paudel said that the staff will be requested at the Central Monitoring Committee meeting on Friday.

'Now we have monitored using the employees of the import-export and firm branches. We have requested staff from the Department of Food Technology and Quality Control, Quality and Weights Department to monitor the joint market," Poudel said, "The monitoring team is focused on food, hotels, milk, clothing, water, etc. The department understands that the problem is in this area as well. Poudel said that two monitoring teams will be deployed for highways from Ghatasthapana to the valley.

Commerce monitors price lists, labels and overcharges. The Food Technology and Quality Control Department monitors the quality of food and sweets available in hotels and restaurants. Director General of Food Technology, Sanjeev Kumar Karna, said that the targeted monitoring has been started during the festival. Two teams are deployed from the center daily. 22 division offices and 8 offices are conducting targeted monitoring of festivals. Food has also monitored by keeping a rapid team. Karna says that complaints from the public will be addressed as soon as they come.

He said that food will also be represented in the joint market monitoring conducted by the Department of Commerce. There are many problems with food. Fake ghee is huge. Food technology has deployed 31 teams daily from 30 offices, we have focused on monitoring food, hotels, water, dairy products, oil,' Director General Karan said, 'We have brought the businessmen who are found to be in a bad mood during the monitoring to take action.'

In the case of weights and measures, the Quality and Weights and Measures Department has been monitoring. Quality inspection of fish and meat is done by Animal Services Department. The Department of Revenue and Internal Revenue monitors the issue of billing and revenue evasion. Agricultural commodities are regulated by the Department of Agriculture. Market monitoring becomes meaningful only when all these departments are active. Along with the federal structure, the municipality has been given the right to monitor. Although some municipalities have monitored, most of them have not shown interest, so the market is not improving. Jyoti Joshi Bhatt, Head of Quality and Weights Department, said that regular monitoring is being done from

11 office. He said that the monitoring will be carried out together with the joint market monitoring team conducted by commerce. "Napataul is supposed to monitor the scales, the items that have got the quality mark have been continuously monitored," she said, "Even now, monitoring is being done by 11 offices. We also send staff to the market monitoring conducted by the Central Monitoring Committee. A monitoring team will be formed in such a way that it will be represented in the matter of scales.

The government has been accused of focusing only on festivals. But the government agency says that it is necessary to increase the number because there is more crowd during the festival.
