Manipur
Chemists and Druggists' Association
(MCDA) has said it
will endorse the Nation-wide
chemist's bandh on May 30.
President of All India Organisation
of Chemists and
Druggists Jaganath Shinde
had also submitted a pointwise
representation to the
Deputy Secretary of Central
Health and Family Planning
Ministry (Drugs Control)
wherein poin-wise objections
to the proposal for launching
e-portal for the regulation of
sale of medicines were put
forth, MCDA said in a statement
and said that people
living in remote and rural areas
will be deprived of
medicines and create great
inconvenience to stockists and
chemists located in far flung
areas.
MCDA also urged the
Central Government to consider
the points of objection
submitted by Jaganath Shinde
and Suresh Gupta and cancel
the implementation of the proposed
e-portal.
