Two contract workers were placed under suspension in Aurangabad after 48 vials of Remdesivir, a key medicine in COVID-19 treatment, went missing from a civic-run hospital, an official said on Friday.

The Aurangabad Municipal Corporation official said the vials had gone missing from Meltron Hospital, a dedicated COVID-19 facility.

''Apart from the two people being suspended, the civic administration has also asked the health department to file a police case in this matter,'' he added.
