Tangshang, May 24 (MExN): Tangshang Naga Students’ Association (TNSA) conducted first ever customer awareness campaign across Nanyun Township in Naga Self-Administered Zone, Sagaing Region, Myanmar from May 18-21.
The association carried out door to door campaign. They told the public to check expiry dates before they purchase food items, cosmetics and medicine etc, alleging the area merchants sell most of the food items such as biscuits, drinks and noodles and even medicines and cosmetics beyond their expiry dates. The innocent customers buy without checking the items and use them, said a press release from J. Mutu Muniak, President, TNSA.
It said that most of the customers did not know what MFG and EXP Dates were and came to know of them after the awareness campaign. The association pointed out that majority of the people in the area lacks English knowledge and the shopkeepers themselves were unaware of those things.
TNSA informed it will continue its campaign in both Pangsau Township and Donghe Township next, after which TNSA will issue a letter to all merchants and dealers not to sell expired items. If they continue selling expired goods, TNSA will take action against them. There will be first warning, second warning with fine and in the third time, shops will be closed down, it warned.
