The Department of Consumer Affairs (DoCA), Government of India, recently held a review meeting to assess the status of vacancies in District and State Consumer Commissions across the country. Chaired by the Secretary of the Department, Smt. Nidhi Khare, the meeting was attended by Principal Secretaries, Directors, and senior officials from relevant State and Union Territory departments.

During the meeting, the Secretary emphasized the urgency of filling vacancies to ensure timely and efficient resolution of consumer disputes. She highlighted the need for States and UTs to expedite the appointment process for qualified candidates, aligning with the government’s commitment to addressing consumer grievances effectively. The Secretary urged stakeholders to prioritize the matter, stressing that the proper functioning of Consumer Commissions is critical for safeguarding consumer rights and maintaining service standards.

The meeting included a comprehensive analysis of current vacancy data. As of October 2024, significant gaps persist in the positions of Presidents and Members in both District and State Consumer Commissions. Specifically, 18 President and 56 Member positions remain vacant in State Commissions, while 162 President and 427 Member positions are unfilled in District Commissions nationwide. Despite ongoing efforts, the number of vacancies has increased in recent years, prompting concern from the Secretary, who called for swift action from the States and UTs to address the issue.

Referencing the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, the Secretary highlighted Section 32, which permits assigning additional charges to other District Commissions if needed to maintain functionality. This provision aims to mitigate disruptions caused by vacancies.

The meeting fostered constructive dialogue with State and UT representatives, resulting in a shared understanding of the need to prioritize filling these roles to prevent delays in hearings and reduce case backlogs. The Ministry reiterated its commitment to collaborating with stakeholders to establish a transparent, efficient, and objective process for addressing vacancies in Consumer Commissions. This initiative reflects the government’s dedication to strengthening the consumer redressal mechanism and enhancing its overall efficiency across the nation.

The Food Safety & Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) held a meeting with e-commerce Food Business Operators (FBOs) under the leadership of the CEO to reinforce compliance with food safety standards. During the meeting, the CEO emphasized the need for e-commerce FBOs to ensure that food products delivered to consumers have a minimum shelf life of 30 percent or 45 days before expiry. This measure is aimed at guaranteeing the freshness and quality of food items.

The CEO also issued a caution to FBOs against making unsupported claims online, stressing the importance of preventing misleading information to protect consumer rights. He underscored the role of online platforms in maintaining transparency and safeguarding public health. A key point of the discussion was the mandate that no FBO should operate on an e-commerce platform without a valid FSSAI license or registration, emphasizing the need for strict adherence to regulatory standards.

In addition, the CEO clarified that product claims made on e-commerce platforms must align with the details provided on product labels, as per FSSAI’s Labelling and Display Regulations. To enhance food safety, he instructed FBOs to ensure proper training for delivery personnel, equipping them with essential knowledge of food safety and hygiene practices. He also highlighted the need for separating food items from non-food items during delivery to avoid any risk of contamination.

Concluding the session, the CEO reiterated the importance of a transparent, compliant, and accountable e-commerce food sector for protecting consumer health and building trust in digital food marketplaces. The meeting saw active participation from over 200 individuals, both physically and virtually, showcasing the sector’s commitment to strengthening food safety standards within e-commerce.

The 58th Executive Committee meeting of the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), chaired by Shri Rajeev Kumar Mital, Director-General of NMCG, approved several key projects aimed at the conservation of the Ganga River and its ecosystems.

Environmental Flow Assessment Project

The committee approved a project to assess the environmental flow of the Chambal, Son, Damodar, and Tons rivers, with a budget of ₹11 crore. The initiative includes developing hydrological and hydrodynamic models to scientifically evaluate flow systems. By studying existing water streams and natural flow patterns, the project aims to enhance water quality and quantity while documenting biodiversity and maintaining ecosystem balance.

Ganga River Dolphin Conservation

A ₹1 crore project titled “Advancing Rescue System for the Protection of Stranded Ganges River Dolphins” was also sanctioned. It includes developing a specialized rescue vehicle, the “Dolphin Ambulance,” to aid dolphins in distress. The project will also focus on creating awareness and building community capacity through training programs.

Turtle Conservation in the Ganga Basin

An innovative project for conserving endangered turtles in Uttar Pradesh’s Ganga basin was approved, with a budget of ₹78.09 lakh. The initiative seeks to rehabilitate endangered turtle species, reintroduce three highly threatened species, and establish a Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool at the National Chambal Sanctuary.

Rehabilitation of Kolkata’s Keorapukur STP

The committee approved the rehabilitation of the 50 MLD Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) at Keorapukur, Kolkata, with a revised budget of ₹114.27 crore (previously ₹67.06 crore). This project aims to enhance water purification and includes a 15-year operation and maintenance plan to ensure its long-term sustainability.

Bardhaman Integrated Septage Treatment Plant

In Bardhaman, West Bengal, a revised budget of ₹10.35 crore (up from ₹6.46 crore) was approved for the Integrated Septage Treatment Plant. The project includes constructing a 50 KLD Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant (FSTP) and ensuring its operation and maintenance for five years.

New Season of “Rag-Rag Mein Ganga”

The meeting approved a proposal for the third season of the travelogue series “Rag-Rag Mein Ganga – Ek Jeevan Dhara”. This 16-episode Hindi series will explore the Ganga’s ecological importance, aquatic life, eco-tourism, cultural heritage, and community involvement. Produced at a cost of ₹6.25 crore, the series will air on Doordarshan and highlight conservation efforts and the Ganga’s rejuvenation journey.

The Technical News Letter (TNL) 2024, published by JCES/HQ IDS, was also released during the event. This publication highlights future technologies with the potential to transform modern warfare, with contributions from all three Services in its development.

The primary objective of the meeting was to achieve synergy in joint electronic warfare (EW) operations among the three Services and to establish a roadmap for enhancing capabilities in Spectrum Warfare. The gathering also aimed to identify future technology development and training priorities. In his Special Address, Air Marshal Mishra stressed the importance of integrating EW assets across the Services for effective operations and commended the successful execution of the first joint EW exercise, which underscored the principle of “Victory through Jointness.”
