“People are taking the items on credit and performing their duties but the government is not paying attention,” Masood added. The MLA showed a PPE kit, which is made in China and supplied by the state government.

The MLA alleged that on one side the government and people have launched campaign to boycott Chinese goods but on the other hand, the government is supplying substandard made in China PPE kits.
