KUWAIT CITY, Jul 6: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has intensified its market inspection campaign across Kuwait, issuing 35 violation reports and closing a grocery store during inspection raids in Farwaniya and Ahmadi governorates as part of ongoing efforts to protect consumers and enforce commercial regulations.
According to the ministry, inspectors in Al Farwaniya carried out field inspections at several commercial establishments, resulting in the issuance of 25 violation reports.
