Cuttack: A team from the Directorate of Drugs Control, Odisha, conducted raids on multiple locations under Purighat police limits of Odisha’s Cuttack city on Thursday for allegedly selling duplicate medicines.

According to sources, the team conducted raids at 12 places, including Manikaghosh Bazaar, Badambadi, Banka Bazaar, and Mangalabag, after receiving a tip-off about fake medicines related to high blood pressure and heart diseases being sold by stockists here. Samples of Telma 40 and Telma-AM medicines were also collected and sent for laboratory tests. The manufacturing company has also been asked to mention the components of both the medicine descriptively.

Sources further said that these medicines were being sent to seven places across Odisha, including Bhubaneswar, Cuttack and Balasore. It has also been reported that duplicate medicines were being shipped from Bengaluru and Bihar to the twin cities of Odisha. Hence, directions have also been issued to withdraw medicines supplied from the said stockists to the wholesalers and retailers.

It is pertinent to mention here that Cuttack city has become a hub of duplicate products with units of adulterated sauce, liquor, cooking oil and turmeric powder being busted at regular intervals.
