RAWALPINDI: The pharmaceutical traders announced on Sunday to go on a strike from March 5 to protest against amendments in the drug acts.
Talking to the media, Pharmaceutical Association President Arshad Awan said they would shutter down against the promises not being fulfilled in the draft of the Amendment of Drug Act 2017.
He said the pharmaceutical industry was flourishing in the country and contributing to national exports at a high volume. “We are not against the amendments, however, our rights should be protected,” Arshad pleaded.
He said those involved in manufacture and sale of spurious medicines are the real enemy of humanity and should be awarded punishments.
