Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], April 8 (ANI): Madhya Pradesh s Indore is facing a shortage of Remdesivir injection and oxygen supplies due to an increase in Covid-19 cases.
Consumers have alleged black-marketing of these medicines while the district administration spoke about possible price regulations.
People said they are being charged Rs 2,000 to 2,500 instead of Rs 899 for Remdesivir. The way coronavirus cases are growing in the city, about 5,000 injections are required on daily basis, but barely 1,500 are available for the people. That is why the market is witnessing a shortage of the product. These injections come from Maharashtra and Gujarat, and since the cases are increasing there too, we are getting less supply, said Dharmendra Kothari, a Remdesivir injection seller told ANI.
