The Minister of State for Chemicals and Fertilizers Mansukh Mandaviya has today stated that the Government of India has been in active contact with officers of the Government of Maharashtra and is assisting with supply of Remdesivir in every manner. In a series of tweets he has strongly condemned statements of Maharashtra government, alleging otherwise.
Mandaviya has said that the Government has asked to double the production in the country, has given express permission to 20 more Plants since 12-4-2021 to increase capacity to manufacture.
