I had been recently to Chidambaram and as it was very hot because of summer I wanted to buy cool drink at a shop in Chidambaram. That shop fellow was asking Rs.7/- more than the MRP rate for each cooldrink pet bottle.
Similarly, there is one SAFA COOL BAR in Woods Road, Off Mount Road, near LIC, where all cool drinks cost Rs.3/- more than the MRP rate and another Kailash News Mart in the road opposite to Pondy Bazaar Post office road i.e., on the way to G N Chetty road, each cool drink bottle costs Rs.2/- more than the MRP rate. All these fellows are saying that they charge more than MRP for cooling.
This is simply atrocious and none of the public does not have the courage to ask them why they are charging more than the MRP rate. Everybody gives off the extra amount and go off silently. If they charge Rs.2-7/- for each customer, know how much they plunder everyday by selling cool drinks alone. This amount is in addition to the money that they get as profit for each bottle sold. The authorities definitely have to put a full stop to this type of dacoity. This has become a routine every where. Previously it was only at bus stands and railway stations. This has now spread to other shops also.
