Hyderabad police are contemplating booking cases against drug abusers
The Hyderabad police are contemplating booking cases against drug abusers going forward, as they found that it has become an unwieldy operation.
“Till now, we have been mainly focusing on the drug supply chain. Now, we are seriously considering monitoring the demand chain as well,” Commissioner of Police C.V. Anand said on Thursday.
Announcing the arrest of seven members of three inter-State ‘Class A’ drugs peddling gangs, he said that police were liberal, keeping in mind careers of the drug abusers, who were mostly youngsters. “But, now we have tightened all screws and would pursue them,” he said. With traction in demand for psychotropic substances, the police would be on hot pursuit of the users.

Doctors prescribing branded medication instead of general medicine to patients has been a persistent issue. Clause 1.5 of the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002, prescribes that every physician should, as far as possible, prescribe drugs with generic names. It is to be written legibly and preferably in capital letters and he/she shall ensure that there is rational prescription and use of drug. Similarly, as per the Medical Council of India (MCI) guidelines (2016) and National Medical Commission (NMC) advisory (2022), doctors must prescribe medicines by their generic names rather than brand names.

Speaking to The Hindu, Samragni said that the play struck a chord with her when she read it at the Drama Library by Bhasha Centre for the first time. “The play was funny, it was sarcastic, humourous, nuanced, and it was talking about some very important things. It felt like the play encompasses things that are really relevant today while also using mythological characters, which made it very relatable. The play is a new dimension to modern day problems,” she added.
