Anti-dumping legal measures aimed at curbing the sale of imported goods at prices lower than local products will soon be formulated Minister of Industry and Entrepreneurship Development Sunil Handunnetti said recently to media, during  a special inspection tour of the Nalanda and Kaludewala industrial zones in the Matale District.

He urged complaints to be lodged whenever imported products are sold at prices lower than those of locally produced goods.

Products such as shoes, tiles, lighters, and matchboxes, among many others, are being sold in the country at prices even below the regulated levels.

Minister Handunnetti emphasised that these could be illegally imported goods, and it is the responsibility of local manufacturers to report such cases in a proper and systematic manner.

He further noted that this is a process that cannot be controlled solely by the government.
