This is a great reform initiated jointly by consumers, Govt and local circles. more  
We appreciate your initiative. Thanks a lot. more  
I agree with Mr. Hoskote. In addition to what he has stated, on many items the MRP is written in so small font that its difficult to locate. I would suggest that every packaged item even if small in size, the MRP should be clearly visible. On some items where the MRP, manufacturing date, etc. is printed just before packing like medicines, it should be done in such a way that it is clearly visible and the ink used also should be indelible. Many times the ink used is of poor quality and its difficult to make out what's printed. more
