Face masks, hand sanitisers no more essential items: Centre
Face masks and hand sanitisers are no more essential products as their supply is sufficient in the country and, therefore, are now kept out of the purview of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, Consumer Affairs Secretary Leena Nandan said on July 7.
On March 13, the Union Consumer Affairs Ministry had declared face masks and hand sanitisers as essential commodities for 100 days to boost supply and prevent hoarding of these items in its fight to check the spread of coronavirus.
“These two products were declared as essential items till June 30. We are not extending further as there is enough supply in the country,” Nandan told PTI.
A decision in this regard was taken after consultation with the state governments, she said.
