Manipur Launches Kangpokpi Consumers Club to Fight Market Fraud

Imphal: Manipur Deputy Chief Minister Nemcha Kipgen launched the Kangpokpi District Consumers Club on November 10. The group aims to stop overpricing, adulteration, and unfair trade tactics. Kipgen demands better oversight of local business practices. Residents must defend their rights.

Bad business hurts your wallet. It destroys trust in the local market. The club acts as a bridge between the public and government agencies. Members will educate the district on the Consumer Protection Act of 2019. Kipgen believes vigilance is mandatory. She stated, "consumers must be made aware of their rights and encouraged to report instances of exploitation instead of remaining silent."

Help is now available. The club opened a grievance helpline at +91 8132-906180 for residents to report bad actors. Haolet Khongsai from Kangpokpi leads the organization as president. Haokhosat Chongloi from Saikul and Milan Pradhan from Kalapahar serve as vice-presidents.

Mimin Chongloi acts as secretary, while Letkhothang Kipgen holds the joint secretary post. Ranjan Adhikari manages the books as finance secretary. Paotinsei Lhouvum and Vungjalun Sitlhou handle organizing duties. Thanglenhao Chongloi will oversee media and publicity efforts.
