New control scales ensure fair trade in Alanya’s markets
Alanya Municipality' s police department has launched a new initiative at the city' s markets.
Shoppers can now verify the weight of their purchases free of charge, thanks to new control scales placed in central locations.
This measure aims to ensure fair trade and provide both local and foreign visitors with peace of mind regarding the weight of fruit, vegetables, and other items.
These new scales have been established by the Alanya Belediyesi Zabıta Müdürlüğü, the municipal police department, to improve consumer protection.
This follows the municipality’s desire to provide all shoppers with peace of mind, particularly as under-weighing has been a concern for some people in the markets. The control scales are strategically located at fixed points within the market areas.
After completing a purchase, customers can easily take their goods to one of these scales to immediately verify the exact weight.
Should it transpire that the weight is lower than the amount paid for, this provides customers with the opportunity to address the matter directly with the vendor.
For tourists, Nordic readers, and foreign residents in Alanya, this means a simpler and safer shopping experience.
One can now shop in the lively local markets with greater confidence that one is receiving exactly what has been paid for.
This contributes to a more positive experience and strengthens Alanya' s reputation as a hospitable destination that focuses on consumer rights.
