Haryana Police, in the past 18 days, has arrested 67 persons for blackmarketing of oxygen, oxygen cylinders and Remdesivir injections across the state.

Since April 23, a total of 33 FIRs were registered while 409 oxygen cylinders and 130 vials of Remdesivir were recovered from the arrested accused.

In these hard times, police teams were working tirelessly to stop the black-marketing of oxygen cylinders and drugs. People can inform the police on black-marketing of Oxygen cylinders and Remdesivir by dialing mobile number 7087089947 and toll-free number 1800-180-1314, he added.
