IMA - Tamil Nadu Branch Honorary State Secretary C.N. Raja, district unit president Chenniappan, president of FATIA N. Sivanesan joined the president of Erode District Chemists and Druggists Association Kaliannan in questioning the rationale behind the Central Government’s move, which, they warned, was fraught with severe consequences.
