Invoke NSA against those black marketing Remdesivir: MP home minister

Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra on Friday directed officials here to take action under the stringent National Security Act against those involved in the black-marketing of Remdesivir injections.

Mishra chaired a meeting of officials from the Gwalior-Chambal division to review the measures for tackling the surge in COVID-19 cases in the area, official sources said.

Remdesivir, a medicine used in the treatment of COVID-19, is in high demand across the country.
