I bought a pre-packed meat labelled fresh with date and time of packing just a few hours back, which smell I have not checked. Upon arriving at home (just an hour from the market) while I was sorting out things I bought, I notice a terrible smell. I found out it was from the meat. What is the right thing I should do? Should I report such thing to any authority? To where and to whom should I complain? Thanks.
(Please note that I bought it from a respectable and popular hypermarket.)

Hypermarket is a supermarket.

Call the store and explain the problem. Most of the time they will replace the spoiled item.

I don't know what a "hypermarket" is, but simply take the bad meat back there at your earliest convenience and explain what happened. You should be offered a refund or fresh meat.

Bring the meat and the receipt back to the customer service desk at the store of purchase. They will give a refund or replace the meat.

I wouldn't report it to the authorities. These things happen and it's very unlikely that the supermarket knew that the meat was bad (lawsuit!). I would just take it back for a refund or exchange.

Take it and the receipt back to the store. Ask for the store manager. Open the package and show him the meat. He'll fall all over himself to make it right for you.
