Remdesivir row: Maha FDA chief transferred

MUMBAI: The Maharashtra government on Tuesday transferred Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Abhimanyu Kale amid a spike in Covid19 cases and a political slugfest over the supply of remdesivir vials to the state. Parimal Singh, a 2004-batch

IAS officer, has succeeded Kale, an official said. Singh will now oversee the procurement of the vital anti-viral drug from private firms.
