HUL fined Rs 50,000 for selling underweight Surf Excel pouch in 2020 case

Hindustan Unilever Limited has been held liable by a state consumer commission for selling a Surf Excel detergent pouch that weighed 70 grams despite being labelled as 90 grams. The case was originally filed in 2020 after a consumer discovered the shortfall in the product's actual weight. HUL challenged the district commission's ruling, disputing both its jurisdiction and findings. The state commission upheld the conclusion that HUL had engaged in an unfair trade practice, though it reduced the compensation amount. The company was ultimately directed to pay Rs 50,000 to the complainant.

Kangana Ranaut opposes CJP protests near Parliament, backs government mandate

Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has criticised the ongoing Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) protests being held near Parliament in New Delhi. She argued that Parliament, not street demonstrations, is the appropriate platform for raising public concerns and debating government decisions. Ranaut contended that protests aimed at pressuring an elected government undermine its democratic mandate to govern. Security forces deployed heavy measures, including tear gas, against protesters as they attempted to march toward Parliament. Separately, several Bollywood figures have expressed solidarity with activist Sonam Wangchuk, who is currently on a hunger strike.
