Have masks aplenty, say Chandigarh chemists

Chandigarh, April 8

There is no shortage of masks in the city.

The UT Administration had yesterday made it mandatory for people to wear a mask or cover the face with a piece of cloth in public places to check the spread of Covid.

Amarjit Singh, president of the Chemists’ Association, said, “The Administration brought into our notice that masks have been made compulsory at public places. We were asked to report the shortage of masks, if any. We have plenty of masks available with us and also with the suppliers.”

Pardeep Chaudhary, a city resident, had raised a concern with UT Adviser Manoj Parida on Twitter. He wrote, “If possible, kindly issue directions for distribution of masks to the people of Chandigarh at viable rates through Sampark centres or any other authority.”
