Pharmacies across India are observing a 12-hour nationwide strike today from 6 AM to 6 PM, called by the All India Organization of Chemists and Druggists. Around 12.4 lakh pharmacy owners are participating to protest against online medicine sales, illegal sale of abortion pills, and corporate discounts. In Tamil Nadu, over 42,000 pharmacies, including 5,000 in Chennai, remain closed, significantly impacting medicine distribution. The association demands the central government to withdraw notifications related to e-pharmacies and regulate corporate profit margins. https://www.chennaionline.com/tamil/nationwide-strike-by-pharmacies-today/ #creator program
