Chandigarh, May 7

A day after fake vials of Remdesivir and Cefoperazone injections were found dumped in the Bhakra canal near Morinda, AAP MLA and Deputy Leader of Opposition Sarvjit Kaur Manuke on Friday alleged under the Capt Amarinder Singh government, the trade of fake drugs was rampant in the state.

Stressing AAP had already highlighted fake drugs were being sold at 10 times the original price in the state, Manuke said the wrappers on fake vials allegedly read ‘for government supply, not for sale’, with markings bearing manufacturer’s address in Himachal Pradesh.

Manuke said governments of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh must investigate the depths of the issue. — TNS
