In a troubling development in Agartala, serious allegations have emerged against Mamani Medical Hall, located near the Bishalgarh sub-divisional hospital, involving the sale of expired medications. The issue came to light on Saturday around 5 PM when a patient’s family urgently called for health department intervention after being dispensed expired medicine.
Eyewitnesses have claimed that the pharmacy has been regularly selling expired drugs without oversight from a qualified pharmacist. In a particularly distressing incident, a patient’s family, in need of medication, was reportedly given expired injections instead of the prescribed tablets. This incident has escalated community concerns about the safety of medicines sold in the area.
Local residents have expressed their frustration, reporting that Mamani Medical Hall is not the only pharmacy profiting from low-quality drugs in the vicinity of Bishalgarh Sub-Divisional Hospital. Allegations have surfaced that some drugstore owners lack formal pharmaceutical education and employ pharmacists to sell substandard medicines. This has resulted in mounting worries among the community.
Despite numerous complaints, many residents feel that authorities have not adequately addressed this pressing issue. There are suspicions that some health department officials may be deliberately ignoring these violations in exchange for bribes, further compromising public health and safety.
In response to these serious allegations, there has been a strong call for immediate and thorough investigations by the health department. The community is demanding stringent actions and essential reforms to safeguard public health and ensure the integrity of local medical supplies. The safety and well-being of Bishalgarh residents now hinge on decisive and transparent actions by the authorities to restore trust in the healthcare system and hold accountable those responsible for these offenses.
