the Department to ensure the availability of quality drugs to the
public and the market is free from counterfeit, spurious and
substandard drugs and no drugs are sold at a price higher than the
retail price marked on the container, but these lines seems to haven't
clicked the conscience of the authorities.
Deputy Controller Drugs, assured action. "You please note down our
official email id and forward the details we will surely investigate
and take action." He said.
