Pharmacists call off agitation

Patna, April 12, 2017: Pharmacists called off their strike on an assurance given by the health department's special secretary Shankar Prasad that appointment of pharmacists would begin from next month.

Bihar State Pharmacists Association president Rajnath Kumar said they would return their degrees to the State Governor if government does not start the appointment process next month.

Earlier members of the association took out a rally in support of their demands from Gardanibagh to Kargil Chowk but police did not allow them to go ahead.

Later, a delegation of the pharmacists met the special secretary (health) and talked on the issue at a length.
