CHENNAI: At Government Tiruvannamalai Hospital, in Covid-19 wards choking with suffering, an insidious business was afoot. Helming it was Ramesh , a hospital helper, tasked with administering Remdesivir injection to Covid-19 patients. Ramesh, however, was not oblivious of the black-market price of the drug.
So, when a doctor tells him to administer Remdesivir to a patient, he would make his own ‘observation’ to check whether the patient would live or not. If his ‘prognosis’ was negative, which they often were, Ramesh kept the vial for himself, and lied to the doctor that the injection had been given.
This ugly business, however, came undone when Mohammed Imran Khan, a 25-year-old Tambaram doctor who had purchased the vials from Ramesh for sale in the black market, was busted. Superintendent of Police (Civil Supplies CID) S Santhi, whose team arrested the suspects, said Ramesh had stolen vials after vials this way and sold them to Khan.

Chennai, April 17 : Only a few employees who are more than 45 years of age are reluctant to take the Covid-19 vaccination while a majority have gone for it, said a senior official with the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) here. Out of about 10,000 employees in ICF, only about 2,000 will be over 45 years of age. Nearly 60-75 per cent of them have taken the vaccine, the official told IANS, preferring anonymity.
The leading railway coach maker in the country which successfully made the Vande Bharat Express train had recently issued a circular asking all its employees to take the Covid-19 vaccination failing which take leave and be at home.
