Una: Illegal Medicines Seized from Unlicensed Pharma Unit
In Himachal Pradesh, police and drug officials raided a pharma unit in Una that was making medicines without a license.
They found medicines worth Rs 6 lakh and the unit's license had been taken away in 2011.
The officials are investigating where these medicines were sold and who else is involved.
They also checked another closed pharma unit nearby but found no activity.
Many closed pharma units in the state are still making medicines illegally.
The authorities are warning that they will take strict action against any company breaking the rules.
Medicines worth Rs 6 lakh were seized from an unlicensed pharma unit in Bathu, Una, Himachal Pradesh.
The unit's license was revoked in 2011 due to serious deficiencies, but it continued production illegally.
The raid was conducted by Una Police and the Drug Department, led by Special Investigation Branch in-charge Sunil Kumar Sankhyan.
No banned drugs were found, but the seized drugs were for general use.
The Drug Control Administration's Anti-Narcotics Task Force conducted extensive raids across the state, finding irregularities at four locations.
