In a first-of-its-kind joint operation, the Drugs Control Administration (DCA), the Hyderabad Police Commissioner’s Task Force and the Malakpet police busted a drug manufacturing unit in Uttarakhand that was allegedly making spurious and counterfeit drugs.
The searches were carried out at ‘Nectar Herbs and Drugs’ in Kotdwar, a city in Uttarakhand, said Director-General of DCA V.B. Kamalassan Reddy. “The inter-state operation, named ‘Operation JAI’, led to the discovery of the manufacturing unit, which was distributing spurious drugs to several states, including Telangana,” said the officials.
