This comes days after the governor ordered a similar probe into the alleged procurement and supply of spurious and non-standard drugs, including some life-saving medicines.

Delhi BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi hit out at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government over the new alleged scam saying, “The so-called ‘Mohalla Clinics’ provided the facility for pathological testing. Based on the vigilance reports and departmental findings, those (pathological) tests are also now under the scanner of the probe…It is being investigated that in one day, the clinics saw a maximum number of 533 patients. The time for the clinics is 9 am to 1 pm. Now imagine, if they checked 533 patients within 240 minutes, then it means they saw a patient for just half a minute.”

“Even after the introduction of Amrit Kaal, instead of making a super-specialty institute or lab, the national capital is still following the old Mohalla clinic system,” he added.
