Dealers of Death: Sale of Fake Medicines biggest concern in India
Medicines save our lives. Can you ever imagine of taking fake medicines under any circumstances? Never, no one on this earth will take a chance with their lives. However, you want or not, many drug dealers in India sell the fake medicines without your knowledge. If you are buying medicines from an Indian medicine store, beware! Your life may be at risk.Recently, the fake medicine seizures have been reported in China, Zimbabwe and Saudi Arabia. Even the EU has identified the sale of fake medicines as a growing problem. Now it's India's turn to get a taste of reality.
The recent seizure of fake medicines worth millions of dollars raised the alarm bell across India. The exposure made by a TV Channel just days after the case of female foeticide was reported from Orissa, an Eastern State of India. Ironically, the same state is again under the scanner, as most fake medicines were found there. Although the TV channel focused on a particular city of Uttar Pradesh, more skeletons have begun to tumble once the startling revelations were made public.
The investigations carried out by the authorities revealed a big nexus between drug dealers, some corrupt medical practitioners and drug control authorities. Such cases have been reported from many parts of India. Medicine stores and drug dealers are burying or destroying tons of medicines elsewhere in the country to escape from the law. It's really sad and unfortunate that such practice existed there for a long time and nobody even got a slight hint until the media intervened with a sting operation.
Despite the government crackdowns and seizure of fake medicines, people are in a dilemma whether to use the medicines or not. People, who take medicines out of compulsion, are not sure of their effectiveness. This startling revelation has sent a shock wave across the country. It seems that the fake drug dealers have expanded their base to the rural belt of India, where people can hardly make the difference between genuine and fake medicines.
Ironically, even the experts find it difficult to differentiate between the two in naked eye. The drug dealers use modern technology to apply the same labels and packaging on the fake medicines. If the government and administration fails to prevent the sale of fake medicines, then it will spell the doom for the entire population in India. It must be treated as a global issue, as fake medicine rackets exist in many parts of the world.

While commenting, make sure that you are not biased. A true journalist must raise the issues even if they go against some fanatics who try to hide evils in their society. It's not the question of Tiranga anymore. when you or your family members die of fake medicines, you won't even get a chance to raise your "Tiranga". I love my country more than you do. But I won't turn a blind eye to evils that exist in my surrounding. Fake Medicine issue has badly affected India. Eveeryday, we are getting news of fake medicines dumped, buried or siezed elsewhere. And, the government is serious about it. Isn't it disturbing that 20% of all the medicines in UP and more than 40% medicines in Orissa are fake? Can we ignore it just because we love Tiranga? It is clearly mentioned in the article that this is a global issue. And examples have been given. But the point is that India is worst affected and the guilty must be punished and people must know what's happening. I request all people who read this article, take up the issue at the appropriate forum so that we can buy the medicines without fear. And for the anonymous commentor, even you can't be sure whether you are buying the genuine drugs for yourself or for you family members. Don't compare it with other countries. That won't resolve our problem. It's our problem and we must address it with all concern. We don't care if the same happens in other countries or not. The main motto of the article is to take up a sensitive issue that has put the lives of millions of people in danger. The question of disregard to Tiranga does not arise here.
I am not disputing what you have written. But even the so-called genuine drugs sold in American markets do more harm than any good. These medicines have been killing people due to the side (or even direct) effects.
I also want to take this opporunity to encourage to write something good about your own country too. The western media does not leave any stone unturned to belittle India. We have ample things in our beloved country to be proud of.

Sounds good now. This is a global issue. The medicines found in the US market are being imported from China. If you search in details, many countries in the world are concerned over fake medicines. However, since we closely cover the incidents that occur in our country, it's obvious that we can't resist ourselves from highlighting these issues. Our outrage is justified because we are the worst sufferers. Our main goal is to create awareness in the society and foil the evil designs of these death dealers. Definitely, we seek support from all our readers. If we have hurt anyone unintentionally, we regret for this.
