Telangana Forms Unified Authority to Enhance Food and Drug Safety Enforcement
Telangana has unified its Food Safety and Drugs Control departments into the Telangana Standards Authority for Food and Essential Drugs (TSAFE), led by IPS officer Avinash Mohanty. The authority aims to strengthen enforcement through dedicated teams combining food, drug, and police officials to improve legal action, intelligence, and protection during operations. This integration addresses previous gaps like lack of police support and inspector shortages, reflecting the state government's focus on stricter food and drug safety regulation.
