Drug policy

Sir,
Implement drug policy at the earliest. In our State BUMS, doctors are practicing allopathic medicines that too in Government run health centres and hospitals. Drug licences must be given to pharmacy known professionals having at least diploma in Pharmacy as of now majority of licences are matriculates (having very limited knowledge of drugs) and there is already mushroom growth of drug store outlets and majority of chemists are illegally self practicing, the result of which is drug addiction, abuse and drug resistance and serious drug reactions. The law implementing authorities must be empowered to book the culprits involved in trade. This trade is flourishing unchecked and  it will have serious repercussions on youth and State economy. It may be said here that our State is having second highest per capita consumption of drugs in our country.
Yours etc….
