Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government on Friday constituted a state-level committee headed by ADG, Crime Branch, to check and prevent hoarding and black marketing of essential supplies.
The official notification said the decision was taken after it was found that medicines and other medical supplies essential for treatment and prevention of COVID-19 are being hoarded and sold on the black market by some unscrupulous elements amid the COVID-19 second wave and surge in cases.
“The committee will monitor the availability of essential medical supplies and take corrective action. It will ensure that the officers conducting the raids, search and seizure get full cooperation from various agencies, especially the police,” it added.
