Residents of Kanthi area of West Bengal’s East Medinipur district created a ruckus over claims that state-run hospitals were providing them medicines of Bangladesh origin. Even the hospital superintendent does not know how these medicines reached the hospital.
Ruling TMC leader and Lok Sabha MP from the region Dibyendu Adhikari has written a letter to the West Bengal Health Department in this regard. “We really need to know why this has happened. I have written to the government,” he said.
The government has ordered an inquiry into the matter.
He received the medicines from the Government of India through HLL Life Care Limited, a Government of India undertaking in June last year. The medicines were donated by the Ministry of External Affairs, People’s Republic of Bangladesh to the Government of India. Ajay Chakraborty, director of health department, Bengal, said those medicines were supplied from CMS to Nandigram HD, Purba Medinipur, Howrah and N 24 PGS and S 24 PGS in June.
