COIMBATORE: The postal department has launched a special helpline for medical shops and distributors, which is expected to reduce queues and enable social distancing.
While medical shop owners can call 0422-2305100 for door delivery, distributors can use the service to transport medicines to stores. “We can deliver anywhere within the district within 24 hours. The helpline will be operable from 10am to 2pm for pharmacies and wholesalers,” said senior superintendent of post offices Sudhir Gopal Jakhere, who recently met with the Tamil Nadu Chemists and Druggists Association to offer the service.
The medicines should be booked as parcels in the nearest post offices.
