Patiala, November 8

The Patiala police on Monday held a meeting with members of the chemist associations and asked them not to sell drugs without doctor’s prescription. The meeting was chaired by Superintendent of Police (SP) Dr Mehtab Singh wherein representatives of 16 chemist associations participated.

Mehtab instructed chemists not to sell narcotics pills like tramadol or capsules without any prescription by medical experts. Besides, he asked the chemists to maintain the stock register of sale-purchase. Chemists were also asked not to keep illegal or banned medicines at their shops and drug stores. Meanwhile, chemist associations assured the Patiala police during the meeting that they won’t sell any illegal medicines and inform the police about any such medicines if there was any in the market.— TNS
