“Contact our panel of medical stores over phone or WhatsApp between 9 am to11 am and 5 pm to 7 pm for home delivery of essential medicines or life saving drugs on prescriptions of a doctor along with daily use medicines,” read a tweet of the Subaranpur Collector.
However, the minimum purchase amount is Rs 300 for delivery of both groceries and medicines.
