How to protect your consumer rights by filing complaint at DNCRP (কিভাবে ভোক্তা অধিকার আইনে মামলা করবেন)

Let’s suppose you’re enjoying your dinner at a restaurant. You noticed that the quality of the food is bad / they are claiming unreasonable price for the food (like the price’s worth more than the price written on the product.)

So as a consumer, you can ask the appropriate authority for the reasons.

Suppose, you asked to know the reason, but didn’t get any good answer.

Now, what do you do? Accept this unfair silently??????????

Never.

So if you don’t know what to do next, I think this article is appropriate for you.

Well…..The solution is; you can file a written complaint at DNCRP - Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection ( jatio vokta odhikar bangladesh) against that Restaurant/Hotel s, or any organization where if you think your rights are violated/ in this regard.
