SHILLONG, JAN 14: Alleging that the Meghalaya government, especially the health department is ignoring the health issue of the people by overlooking the supply of spurious drugs by M/S Creed located at the industrial estate, the Civil Society Women Organisation had requested Meghalaya governor RS Mooshahary to step in can cancel the license issue to the company.
The CSWO had earlier highlighted the drugs supplied by the Indus Creed to the government hospitals were substandard posing great danger to the patients, who are mostly poor, who frequents government hospitals.
In a letter submitted to Mooshahary on Monday, the CSWO has pointed out that the Meghalaya government has issued license to the Indus Creed despite the cancellation same by the asst drugs controller, of the Meghalaya government.
CSWO president Agnes Kharshiing alleged that the Meghalaya government not only ignored the cancellation of the license by assistant drug controller by revoking the order but also overlooked the letter of the Medical Superintendent (Ganesh Das) that M/S Indus creed supplied the medicine Albendazole, which is below the standard set by IP (Indian Pharmacopeia).
Saying that the Indus Creed has violated the terms and conditions laid down in the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940 by supplying drugs below the permitted standard, the CSWO also wrote a letter to the Dirctor of Health Service (DHS) – MI not only to cancel the license but also ask the police to arrest those responsible for supplying spurious drugs.- By Our Reporter
