Pharma hub? Drug samples from Himachal failing frquently

major crisis. Since January this year samples of 56 companies have failed the
quality test. In August, CDSCO had released a list of 20 pharmaceutical
companies whose samples had failed the quality test declaring it to be
spurious, adulterated and misbranded, out of which three companies were from
Himachal Pradesh. Earlier in January, list of 25 companies was released whose
samples failed the quality test and of them 10 companies were from state, in
February among the 27 companies failing test, 12 were from HP while in March, 7
from a list of 18 companies.
