[Resolved]  Reliance Fresh — Hoarding and Acting as Middleman

Address:

East Delhi, Delhi

I have a complaint against a Reliance Fresh outlet at Chander Nagar, Delhi-51. My complaint is that this store is acting as a "Middleman" and is doing the hoarding of the entities sold by the store. Actually this store brings a large amount of stock of all the entities like vegetables, milk products, soft drinks etc. and then sold them to the local shopkeepers and the local vegetable vendors and not to the local residents/consumers. Like for an instance, there cold drinks were available at a cheap rate, so one of the local shopkeeper purchased 150 units of those cold drinks from there and non were left for the local consumers so they have to purchased to cold drinks at the normal price ( not discounted as available on RF).
Also if vegetables are available at a cheaper price then they are also got purchased by a local vegetable vendor. For an instance once a person ( who is a local vegetable vendor) purchased 25 Kgs of onion from the store at once, leaving nothing for the end user, and later selling it on a quite higher price. There are a lot of similar incidences which occur daily at this store. What i wanted to say from all this is that, this all is adding to black marketing and hoarding of the items by the store which is directly affecting the end consumers, which shouldn't happen. In the end rather than getting the things at a cheaper price the end consumer is forced to buy the things at normal or a higher price (in case of vegetables) which totally defy the whole existence of such retail outlets.
