Oct 27, 2025 | Breaking, PUNJAB

The Punjab Government has announced a sweeping ban on the sale of 112 “substandard” drugs across the state. This urgent measure follows the issuance of a list of such items by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) and is a direct response to recent incidents where the consumption of certain medicines led to fatalities.

Health Minister Balbir Singh confirmed the action in a social media post on Sunday, stating, “These drugs have been declared as substandard drugs by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO). The Health Department, Punjab, has completely banned the sale of these medicines.”
