Dehradun/New Delhi, June 24
The Uttarakhand Government will serve a notice on yoga guru Ramdev's Patanjali Ayurved for launching a drug claiming to be a cure for Covid-19 when it had only applied for a licence to manufacture an immunity booster against cough and fever, an official said today.
The revelation comes even as the Ayush Ministry at the Centre prepares to examine the herbal products, company's documents on research and the composition of the drug developed by it. Union Minister Shripad Naik said Patanjali coming out with the medicine was a "good initiative" but due process had to be followed. The Haridwar-based firm could also face litigation in Bihar.
A complaint has been filed against it in a Muzaffarpur court, alleging that the firm put at risk the lives of lakhs of people by claiming to have developed a Covid cure. — PTI
