Shopkeepers blame panic buying and hoarding of medicines
Amid huge demand for medicines, PPE kits, oxygen cylinders and oximeters in the onslaught of the pandemic, medical stores are selling these aforementioned items at exorbitant rates. The shop owners, in turn, blamed people for hoarding that led to unavailability of medicines and devices in the market.
The cost of best quality oximeter ranges between ₹1,500 and ₹2,500 but due to shortage, it is sold between ₹3,000 and 4,500. A digital thermometer is sold at twice or thrice the MRP.

GHAZIABAD: Even as the city is struggling with rampant garbage dumping in almost every municipal area, the civic body as come up with an ambitious plan of launching “spot the garbage” challenge on social media, especially Twitter, from this week. Under the initiative, residents will be asked to tag the civic body along with pictures of garbage dumps in their area and the civic body will clean them within 24 hours and provide the geo-tagged photo with location and timing. Officials said that initially they will clean the spot in 24 hours, but over the period of time, the response time will be reduced to just two hours. They added that the department has also formed a “Team-100” comprising one volunteer from each ward whose job will be to keep an eye on civic issues and inform the official concerned so that timely action can be initiated.
