‘Sweeper’ given licence to run pharmacy, runs a medical store in Central Kashmir

Posted on

Budgam: If locals are to be believed, the Drug Controller Department Kashmir has surprisingly provided a license to a sweeper, to run a medical shop in Central Kashmir’s Budgam district.

Locals from Aribagh Colony in BK Pora Budgam said that a medical shop at Magraypora Machaw is run by a man who is a sweeper in Jehlum Valley College.

“Barely knowing ABC about the medical profession, this man is running a medical store and has got a proper license from the Drug Controller Department,” they said and sought the intervention of Health Minister.

The locals have in fact lodged a complaint vide number 65607 in the Chief Ministers Grievance Cell but no so far no action has been initiated against him.

They allege that a professional doctor attends his medical store, and during his absence, they said the sweeper himself treats patients.

“We have no personal animosity with the said person but want to convey a message to Director Health Services Kashmir and Drug Controller Department that they should at least check the credentials of the man before issuing licenses,” the locals said.
