So we have a group commitment that we will never sell or use this drug from today onwards", Dhruba Raj Pandey from Pandey agrovet looked very serious in his words. Veterinary practiceners from east Nawalparasi declared themselves their area as a Diclofenac free zone following the technical seminar at Kawasoti on June 23, 2009.
