Tamil Nadu Commission Orders Courier Companies to Pay Rs 41,090 in Service Dispute
What happened
A Tamil Nadu district consumer commission held a hearing in New Delhi and directed three courier companies to jointly pay Rs 41,090 to a senior citizen. The commission determined that the courier companies exhibited deficiency in service and unfair trade practice. The payment was ordered because a consignment containing gifts for a senior citizen's daughter and granddaughter in the US was destroyed without being delivered.
