The Mizoram health ministry announced that licences of pharmaceutical dealers violating regulations will be cancelled, aiming to curb malpractice in the drug supply chain.
The health department of Mizoram has issued a directive to withdraw the licences of pharmaceutical dealers found breaching statutory norms. The move, disclosed by the state minister, is intended to tighten control over the distribution of medicines and protect public health.
Officials said that dealers who fail to maintain prescribed storage conditions, engage in price manipulation, or supply sub‑standard drugs will be listed as errant and their licences terminated.
The cancellation process will involve a formal notice, a period for the dealers to respond, and a final decision by the licensing authority. The ministry emphasized that the action is part of a broader effort to ensure compliance across the state's drug supply chain.
Stakeholders in the pharmaceutical sector have been urged to cooperate fully and adhere to the regulatory framework to avoid punitive measures.
