Managing directors and other senior executives of pharmaceutical units located in Baddi will now be able to visit the plants as Asia’s largest pharma hub located in Himachal Pradesh looks to resume operations to full capacity after it had to curtail operations upon being declared a containment zone.
The district magistrate of Solan issued an order on Sunday allowing the visits of senior management personnel once a week, albeit with caveats. Companies with names starting from A-D will be permitted such visits on Mondays, those from E-H will be allowed visits on Tuesdays, and so on through the week.
As reported earlier, 50 pharmaceutical manufacturing units had to suspend their operations in Baddi while others had to significantly scale down their operations after the region was declared a containment zone, raising concerns about the shortage of medicines in the country.
