The Delhi Police on Thursday arranged neurological medicine directly from the manufacturer for an elderly patient in East Delhi's Suryakiran apartment after the relative of the patient sought help from the force through microblogging site Twitter.
On Wednesday night, Deeksha Chandra a final year MBBS student and currently living in Dehradun tweeted that her family is in Delhi and her Uncle is suffering from a neurological disease for which he requires tablets of Rilutor 50 mg. But due to lockdown they can't travel and the medicine is not available nearby.
She even tried various online medicine portals but the tablets were unavailable. As soon as the Delhi Police got to know about the situation, Jasmeet Singh, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), East district, informed the Station House Officer (SHO), Madhu Vihar Rajeev Kumar about the same.
