THANE: Thane mayor
Naresh Mhaske on Thursday warned
shopkeepers against selling essential commodities at exorbitant prices during the
Covid-19 lockdown. The
Thane Municipal Corporation had received several complaints about shops selling essentials at thrice their rates, the mayor said in a release.
Overcharging won't be tolerated at any cost, he warned, asking citizens to approach local
Shiv Sena leaders or the civic authority with such complaints.
Mhaske also directed civic officials to take action against errant shopkeepers who overcharge customers.
