The Hindu · india

Authorities in Kochi are preparing for another round of inspections at multiplexes throughout October following complaints about overpriced food items. Joint inspections by Legal Metrology, Civil Supplies, and Food Safety departments last month found violations, leading to notices being served. Officials stated that while fixed prices cannot be enforced, inspections will continue to ensure compliance with rules regarding food quantities and accurate pricing displays. Moviegoers have expressed hope for reduced prices, with some citing costs comparable to movie tickets.
