Around 60 syringes were recovered from another store which had no record of purchase/sale available.
Meanwhile, Civil Surgeon Dr Davinderjit Kaur asked all the medical store owners of the district to store drugs banned by the government in and keep a complete record of purchase and sale of needles and syringes. She warned of legal action against those who sell banned drugs or medicines without a certified doctor’s prescription.
