Congratulations, Shri Uddhav Tackereyji

What for ?

For taking steps for immediate availability of Remdesivir and other Covid drugs , in order to stop Black Marketing

See report :

CM steps in to curb black marketing of critical Covid drugs

Extract :

The tenders must be filled by Tuesday and once the state govt acquires the drugs, they will be supplied to both the BMC and privately run hospitals , at the same price

DMER head Dr T P Lahane told Mumbai Mirror late on Saturday night that the state is seeking to buy 20,000 vials of Tocilizumab, 60,000 vials of Remdesivir, and 6,80,000 Favipiravir tablets

=========================================================

Without doubt , Maharashtra’s  needs are both, greater and much more urgent than for other States

But , other States are bound to float tenders – may be for smaller numbers .

Manufacturers / importers will be hard-pressed to 

meet all these demands

It is heartening that vials ordered by Maha Govt will be supplied directly to the hospitals – and not to Medicine Shops

I suppose , as of now, there is no “ order “ from Govt telling the manufacturers :

“ You cannot sell directly to Medicine Shops “

But then , it is certainly NOT any government’s job to act as an “ Intermediary “ in the supply chain ( between the manufacturers and the drug stores ) – in order to stop Black Marketing by the drug stores

That ( permanent / technology-enabled stopping of Black Marketing of any Life-Saving , essential medicine ), can only be done by implementing :
