NAGPUR: Chemists have threatened to go on a strike if action against them does not stop.
Around 29 medicine
shops
of Kanhan may be shut by members of the Kamptee-Kanhan Nagpur District Chemist and Druggist Association after around 11 were being fined for not having the requisite test report of the
RTPCR
during a joint drive by the the Kanhan
Nagar Parishad
and rural police.
Sanjay Khobragade, vice-president of the association, said “The civic body and police are not keen on seeing the service we have provided to citizens,” he said.
Hetal Thakkar, secretary of the association, said RTPCR tests were not taking place and the results are also taking time to come. “How can chemists be expected to get the tests done when it has been discontinued,” he said, adding, “Some chemists at Jaripatka have also beenal fined.”
SP
Rakesh Ola
said he would look into the issue.
