The President has instructed the Consumers Affairs Authority (CAA) to enforce the law to the letter against traders issuing illegal goods critical for the health of the people.
During a special discussion at Temple Trees yesterday, President Rajapaksa instructed the Health Ministry and the Consumer Affairs Authority to jointly craft a streamlined programme with regard to traders illegally releasing to the market goods injurious to public health.
The Consumer Affairs Authority recently raided a company which released a stock of pharmaceuticals, perfumes and cosmetics, altering the date of expiry. The attention of the President was drawn to a stock of such goods. The President on this instance instructed the related authorities to take harsh actions in this respect.
The President also issued instructions to blacklist such companies and prevent them from engaging in illegal business. The President asserted that no one could be permitted to engage in business which is harmful to the health of the people.
