How to complain about overpricing in Dimapur

The fruit and livestock sheets list the following numbers “for complain & redress”:

• 9862929908
• 8837207162
• 7005697120
• 708547375

The last number is reproduced exactly as printed on the list. It has nine digits, one fewer than a standard Indian mobile number, so it may contain a printing error. Nagaland.News has not been able to verify the correct number.

The list also states a penalty for defaulters of Rs 3,000 for retail sellers and Rs 6,000 for wholesale sellers. It does not spell out the offence, and the vegetable sheet does not carry the complaint numbers or the fine.

What is not known

The DMC list does not explain how the rates were fixed or how long they remain in force, and it is dated for a single day. Rates may change in later lists. The list also does not name the officials who issued it.
