Hyderabad Veterinary Shops Raided, Violations Found by DCA
Imagine some stores sell medicine for animals.
The government checked these stores in Hyderabad to make sure they were following the rules.
They found lots of problems!
Some stores sold medicine that you need a special note from a vet to get, without a note.
They weren't keeping good track of what they sold or bought.
Sometimes, they had old medicine that was past its use-by date mixed with the good stuff.
It's like mixing old food with new food!
Also, they didn't always have a pharmacist to help.
The government is making sure everyone follows the rules to keep animals safe.
