Chemists shut shops at Fatehgarh Sahib

The district chemist association went on a strike and their shops in the district remained closed to protest the ‘unnecessary’ checking by health officials.

Addressing mediapersons, the president of the association, Sumit Kumar, said their outfit did not support chemists who sold any kind of drugs. He said they opposed and adhered to follow the instructions issued by the government from time to time. He said it was unfortunate that despite all this, the health officer comes to check their shops along with the police. He said the shop owners felt humiliation because of it. He said the association was ready to help the administration in its drive against drugs; however, he appealed to put a stop to the police raids.
