AIOCD General Secretary Rajiv Singhal reiterated that AIOCD is protesting the GSR 817 and GSR 220 notifications, as these are effectively regularising online pharmacies.
AIOCD said online sale had led to circulation of fake drugs, antibiotics and scheduled medicines without prescriptions
The All India Organisation of Chemists and Druggists has three major demands — stop online sale of medicines; stop deep discounts from corporate-run industry; and stop the sale of spurious medicines
