The Central Consumer Protection Authority directed hotels and restaurants not to impose LPG or fuel surcharges by default, calling it unfair trade. The regulator clarified such input costs must be included in menu prices, not charged separately to customers.
The Consumer Forum rejected a plea against a food outlet, questioning the complainants’ choice. It asked, “If strictly vegetarian, why order from a restaurant serving both veg and non-veg instead of a purely vegetarian one?”
