State Drug Authorities Directed to Publish Regulatory Actions Online and Report Monthly
The Drug Consultative Committee has directed state drug authorities to publish all regulatory actions, including licence suspensions, cancellations, and drug recalls, on their official websites. States must also submit monthly reports of these actions to the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation by the 10th of each month. This move aims to close a loophole where manufacturers continued operations using photocopies of cancelled licences and to increase public transparency about regulatory enforcement.
