Anil Vij, a campaign was launched by the officers of the Department of Drugs and Administration. The officers raided more than 50 shops across the state. He said that he was continuously receiving complaints regarding the Chemist shopkeepers turning off the main switch while closing the shop at night, due to which the refrigerators containing medicines also get turned off.
