Gurugram, Feb 8 (IANS) The joint team of Chief Minister Flying Squad Gurugram, Health and Drugs Control Department, on Tuesday busted a fake diagnostic lab allegedly providing fraudulent Covid report for Rs 2,000 to Rs 5,000.
On information through a reliable source, the CM flying wing raided SRL Diagnostic Lab which was running at House No NR-24, Ground Floor, Nathupur Road, DLF Phase-3, Gurugram. It used to provide "desired" Covid reports to customers.
The lab was owned by Anuj Sharma on a monthly rent of Rs 18,000 for about 5 months.
The Police have nabbed an accused Sanjeev (22), a resident of Mahipalpur, Delhi and lab operator from the spot while Anuj Sharma was not found on the spot.
Police have seized Rs 12,500, fake Covid reports, laptop, printer, a rubber stamp, mobile and other documents from the spot.
Haresh, head of the raiding team, said they got information about the lab which was running the racket for the past five months and took action. An FIR has been registered against the accused at the DLF Phase-3 police station.
Calling the Congress as the only party who protested against these 'black' laws from the very first day, the Chief Minister said his government called an all-party meeting and then held consultations with farm unions.
The highly specialised medical services to be rolled out across the state by end November will prove to be a boon for people, especially the poor for whom expert private sector medical care is out of reach, he said.
The Minister while addressing the inaugural session of 'Connect Karo 2021 - Towards Equitable, Sustainable Indian Cities' event, said that there can be no doubt that India's cities "enabled by citizen-centric infrastructure and transformational technology" will be the key to achieving the nation's development objectives.
Meanwhile, India logged 27,254 new Covid cases in the last 24 hours. The country also reported 219 Covid deaths in the same time span. The country presently has nearly 3.75 lakh active cases.
At a virtual Covid-19 review meeting, the Chief Minister said vaccine effectiveness is evident from the data being analysed. Special efforts were made to reach out to the government employees, and those who continue to avoid getting vaccinated will now be asked to go on leave till they get the first dose.
DGP Dinkar Gupta said with the case load decreasing, people had started being lax about wearing masks, which the Health Department should strictly enforce with the help of the police.
