Analyse the statements given below and identify which of the following is not the role of Consumer Organisations and NGOs?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Withdraw the hazardous goods from sale
Consumer organisations and NGOs play important roles such as:
-
Filing cases in consumer courts on behalf of the public.
-
Organising seminars, workshops, and training programmes to spread consumer awareness.
-
Providing legal assistance to consumers in disputes.
However, they do not have the authority to withdraw hazardous goods from sale. That power lies with the government or regulatory authorities, not consumer organisations/NGOs.
