New Delhi/Mumbai: India's drugs regulator has asked all states to enforce a court directive prohibiting online medicine sales, a senior government official said on Tuesday, raising industry concerns it could disrupt some online businesses.
K Bangarurajan, a senior official at the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), said the government agency had asked states earlier this year to comply with the court's order, and a reminder had now been issued to all authorities.
The CDSCO's directive was sent on November 28 to all states, according to a copy seen by Reuters. It was not immediately clear what subsequent action states would take.
