January 26: The Supreme Court has issued an order in the name of the government to make essential medicines like cetamol and paracetamol easily available, the state-owned national news agency RSS reported.    

A single bench of Justice Manoj Kumar Sharma passed the order in the name of the government on Tuesday.    

The court issued the order after hearing a writ petition filed by Advocate Tika Bahadur Kunwar on Monday seeking an order to provide essential medicines including cetamol to the citizens.    

The market is currently reeling under shortage of some essential medicines. A similar situation had surfaced during the first and second waves of Covid-19.

During last June, there was a shortage of paracetamol due to production cuts, artificial shortage and high demand for the essential drug in the market.

There was a massive surge in demand for paracetamol, a primary drug used for containing fever, during the second wave as well.
