Early Times Report Srinagar, May 18: Concerned over the reports that drugs banned by the Centre were still being sold in Jammu and Kashmir, the State Accountability Commission (SAC) has sought detailed information from the state government. There were media reports that about 344 drug combinations banned by the Government of India, are reportedly being sold across Jammu and Kashmir. Exercising its suo-motu powers, the Deputy Registrar, SAC, has written to the Commissioner-Secretary Health, Director Health Services Kashmir and Drug Controller, J&K seeking their response within a week on what stops them from banning these drugs in the state. The Deputy Registrar has also asked the officers of the Health department to evolve a mechanism for detecting unsafe and adulterated drugs being sold on medicine counters in the state. The Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) has also alleged that fake drugs were being sold in the state. |
