A huge ruckus was created by the residents of the Kanthi area in West Bengal’s East Medinipur district as they claimed that the state government-run hospitals are providing Bangladesh-originated medicines to them. Even the hospital superintendent does not know how these medicines reached the hospital.
Dibyendu Adhikari, a ruling TMC leader and Lok Sabha MP from the region, has written a letter to the West Bengal Health Department regarding the same. “We really need to know why this has happened. I have written to the government,” he said.
