He said this while chairing the 28th meeting of the National Consumers' Right Protection Council at the conference room of the directorate in Dahaka.
Addressing the importance of self-awareness in consumers' rights, the adviser said the self-correction would come if the stakeholders could be reached out upon ensuring awareness.
