Pindi Street
With more than 300 wholesalers and retailers who deal in all kinds of medicines for humans and animals, both allopathic and ayurvedic, Pindi Street in the heart of the city is the second biggest medicine trading centre in Northern India after Bhagirath Place in Delhi.
Pindi Street has come a long way from the early 70's when the numbers of pharmaceutical companies were limited to only a handful of reputed multinationals. There has been a phenomenal increase in the number of indigenous pharmaceutical manufacturers over the past two decades. A number of complexes have come up in the street to accommodate the corresponding increase in the number of shops as well. According to a wholesale dealer, the street is now likely to attract customers from other places like Patiala, who have been going to Delhi so far.
Apart from medicines, the street houses three surgical material shops as well. The medicine wholesalers can be roughly divided into two categories. One dealing in reputed multinational brands and the other dealing in general medicines manufactured by little known pharmaceutical companies spread all over the country.
The sad aspect of Pindi Street, however, is that some unscrupulous traders are engaged in the business of spurious and duplicate drugs. This number-two trade has been going on for years now but strangely nobody has been looked so far in this connection.
The narrow street suffers from a perennial congestion due to the large number of scooters belonging to shopkeepers and customers. The parking in the nearby books market is not preferred by the shopkeepers. They say it takes half an hour to get a vehicle out of the parking lot. And time is something which Ludhianvis cannot afford to waste.
