Legal action initiated against Mawanella shop for overpricing rice
The Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) has initiated legal proceedings against a shop in the Hingula area of Mawanella after it was found selling a 5kg pack of Keeri Samba rice at Rs. 1,950, far above the stipulated Maximum Retail Price (MRP) of Rs. 1,300. According to CAA officials, the trader was pocketing an unfair profit of Rs. 130 per kilo, exploiting consumers by charging exorbitant prices. The violation was uncovered by Kegalle District Investigation Officers during a raid conducted yesterday (11). The CAA remains vigilant against traders who attempt to take advantage of consumers by selling essential goods above the control price. The public is reminded to always verify the printed MRP when purchasing rice or other essentials, and to avoid paying more than the stipulated price. Consumers are urged to report such violations immediately to the CAA via its hotline 1977. (Newswire) 2026-05-12

Plaintiffs further argue that the Fifth Amendment is violated because Plaintiffs are being denied equal protection under the law by being treated differently and because the Plaintiffs’ fundamental rights under the First Amendment are being impinged upon. Plaintiffs seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief requiring Defendants to provide ASL interpreters at press briefings and other similar events. They also seek a court declaration that Defendants are violating the Rehabilitation Act and the First and Fifth Amendments.Nov. 4, 2025: Judge Ali granted plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction in part, ordering the administration to provide a simultaneous and publicly accessible feed with American Sign Language (“ASL”) interpretation for “all publicly announced White House press briefings conducted by the President or White House Press Secretary that are captured by White House communication channels.” The court found that the administration’s decisio...
