Pritam Thakuria toured various parts of the subdivision and submitted a report to the subdivision administration following the order of the Subdivision Officer. Based on this report, the Tamulpur subdivision administration on Thursday raided a number of pharmacies at the Medical Chowk in Tamulpur subdivision town in cooperation with the Drugs Inspector. During the operation, Maa Medicos was sealed in the presence of the magistrate as the owner of the pharmacy could not produce the appropriate documents.

The Tamulpur subdivision administration has been taking strict action and the crackdown on illegal pharmacies will continue.
