Live example of loot can be seen of one Covid related medicine with arround 90% rate difference as per the snapshot is also a serious issue but who will see to it?
It has been observed that some shopkeepers give 10 to 15% less but lot nearby hospital dont bother for the innocent customers & charge full as per print rate & as such it is the need of the day to raid such shops, otherwise some norms should have been fixed by the Govt to charge %age of profit as per purchase & why so high rates are printed by the manufacturers, which allowed retailers to loot innocent patients?
