Overpriced popcorn, bottled water in multiplexes: Keralam govt agencies begin inspections
Kerala’s consumer‑protection bodies have begun inspecting multiplexes in Kochi after complaints of high‑priced popcorn and bottled water. Inspectors are checking whether theatres provide the legally required free drinking water. The first round of checks resulted in notices to several cinemas that failed to comply, officials said, aiming to curb excessive pricing and enforce consumer rights.
