Learn about consumer rights at a grievance redressal camp in Navi Mumbai

If you ordered a smartphone online and received only the charger, all we can offer you is symnpathy. But an upcoming workshop on consumer rights is where you should be headed if you are looking for retribution.

Whether it's a bank or restaurant, an airline, e-commerce portal or telecom firm that has taken you for a ride, today's consumer grievance redressal camp organised by the Consumer Guidance Society of India (CGSI) will show you the way ahead.

"This satellite city (Navi Mumbai; venue for the camp) is still settling down, and we have been receiving a lot of complaints from here. It's why we chose to set up camp here," says Santosh Shukla, joint secretary, CGSI.

The camp will bring together professionals from various industries and trades as well as experts from the CGSI to address grievances of customers who have registered complaints. Those who haven't managed to can sign up on the spot after offering an administrative service fee of Rs 150.

"Often, aggrieved consumers aren't aware of the options available to them. Here, we hope to look at their specific problems and suggest possible solutions. It's also an occasion to learn of processes they must follow when troubled by a service or product," he adds.
