Drug traders protest mobile court action
Drug traders kept their shutters down in the district town yesterday, protesting seizure of date-expired medicines by a mobile court.
The court led by magistrate Abdul Halim raided City Medical Hall in the town at around 5:00pm and seized a huge quantity of date-expired and unregistered medicines.
The medicines were later set on fire in front of the drug store.
Mohammad Ali Raju, owner of the shop, said “The date-expired medicines were kept separately to return those to the company”.
Following the incident, the traders closed the shops. They also brought out a procession protesting the drive.
Md Mahabubul Alam Mukul, president of district drug owners' association, said they are often harassed in the name of drives.
