The Chemists and Druggists Association of Goa will join the All India Organization of Chemists and Druggists (AIOCD), in observing a bandh for one day on May 30.Retail and wholesale pharmacies will remain shut from midnight on May 29 till midnight on May 30.
If you wonder why this protest is for? This is against the government's e-portal proposal which requires stockists and vendors to upload details of each sale on the e-portal of the government within a stipulated period.
"All pharmacies attached to government hospitals and private pharmacies attached to private hospitals will remain open during the bandh. Patients are requested to procure the medicines they need before the day of the bandh," said president of the association.
The association also stated that the government's proposed regulation pertaining to the entry of data on daily purchase and sale and online uploading by drug traders across the country will be painful and cumbersome for all traders.
