The Delhi High Court on Tuesday asked BJP MP from East Delhi Gautam Gambhir if he had a valid licence to stock medicines, especially those that fight against Covid-19. The court asked this after the MP put out tweets asking people to collect medicines from a camp on Pusa Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The question was raised by the Delhi High Court day after when Gambhir on Tuesday tweeted to distribute Fabiflu (a medicine for Covid-19 patients with mild symptoms) for free in East Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the report, the court thought the distribution of medicines will stop but it is still continuing, the court said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The division bench of Justices Rekha Palli and Vipin Sanghi said how is it possible for anyone to procure Covid-19 medicines in such large quantity without valid medical licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Advocate Rakesh Malhotra had told the court that the East Delhi MP was distributing Fabiflu as mentioned in his tweets. Malhotra said even though Gambhir is doing a great job by proving medical help to Delhi residents, it is still an issue because patients in other areas with serious Covid complications are facing a shortage of such medicines but East Delhi is getting it, the issue needs to be addressed, Malhotra added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to health ministry data on Tuesday, Delhi witnessed 24,149 fresh Covid-19 cases in the last 24 hours, registering a spike of 3,948 cases compared to the 20,201 cases reported on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The death toll reached 15,009 since the pandemic has begun. According to the Delhi government, this is the 6th day in a row that the city has witnessed over 300 Covid deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
