CCTV at pharmacies: Delhi chemists oppose proposal

Chemists oppose mandatory CCTV surveillance in retail pharmacies due to privacy concerns. They argue recording sensitive health discussions could deter patients from seeking advice.

They seek safeguards and a risk-based approach for small pharmacies.
