During the visit, a case was also registered against two medical shop owners. According to the officials, the
medical shop owners were selling these products without the mandatory declarations like MRP, Customer Care Number etc. and in absence of these declarations, these Medical Stores were selling these products at willful prices. The officer also said that during the checking, a 5 Ltr Sanitizer Cane was found short by 100 ml which led the department to slap a fine of Rs. 50,000/= on the manufacturer of this item.
