“Customer is the most important visitor on our business premises and the customers are not dependent on shop but they have multiple choice, the customers are not an interruption on our work and not an outsider on our business. We as a businessman and shopkeepers are not doing him a favour by serving him. He is doing us a favour by giving us an opportunity to do so” as quoted by the Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhi. So it’s an opportunity that we should take care of all the rules and regulation of Legal Metrology and consumers affairs,” said Debia.
