Consumer Protection is one of CAG's core areas of work and as part of our efforts to educate and inform consumers on various consumer issues and related happenings, including our own activities, we publish "Consumer Update", a bi-monthly e-newsletter.
If our aim is to create a sustainable, healthier and #SingaraChennai we need to be able to get around without resorting to using our private vehicles. But this needs the collective efforts of citizens, the government and companies. Today, we look at what the government must do to make this possible.
On average, we lost 426 lives EVERYDAY on our roads, in 2021. The statistic is not only frightening but also forces us to investigate in detail the causes of road crashes and amplify road safety measures. With the #RoadSafetyWeek2023 approaching, let us call on our government agencies and decision makers to proactively promote road safety.

Today is #RefuseSingleUse day. #SingleUsePlastics give us the impression of saving time & effort...single use plastic cups, single use plastic straws, single use plastic bags. The list is endless. We need to change, & we need to start somewhere. So today, why not say 'no' to the plastic cups in your local tea stall? Ask them for a glass or metal one & be the start of something new.

There is no question that systemic changes should be the main focus for #climateaction. But personal, proactive steps towards greener, more sustainable lives can also go a long way towards protecting the environment & preserving the planet for our future generations. #2023 #SaveEarth
Today, we're looking at the last two rights in our series '#ConsumerRights'. As a #consumer, you have the right to seek redressal for your consumer grievances. Even small grievances should be addressed, as all these add up to creating a safe consumer ecosystem. The final right is as much a #responsibility as it is a right - to stay educated & informed at all times on your rights as a consumer. #BeAware
Why not try a different New Year resolution this time? Switch to sustainable transport - buses, trains, walking, cycling. Start with baby steps - cycle for short trips in the neighbourhood; take the bus or train twice a week to work. To ease your bus/train journey, we suggest finding out about routes via websites, apps, etc.. Here's to a new year with less pollution, traffic, stress, and better physical and mental health for all of us!
