Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J.Jayalalithaa will inaugurate a total of 10 pharmacies outlets in seven districts, including one in Nanganallur in Chennai`s suburb on Thursday . The others will be in Kancheepuram, Cuddalore, Erode and Sivaganga, and two each in Salem, Madurai and Virudhunagar. The long-term goal is to set up 100 such pharmacies across the state, a move that could win more brownie points for the chief minister pharmacies. The state government had announced that Rs. 20 crore would be used from the Price Stabilisation Fund for running the pharmacies.
An official said out of the 100 shops in the state, 10 will be in Chennai. “At a later stage, we plan to set up a computerised database and procure medicines based on requirements from each shop,“ he said.
