JAMMU, Jun 21 (PTI): Authorities here on Saturday suspended drug sale licences of nine dealers in a special drive carried out to curb misuse of pharmaceuticals with habit forming ingredients, an official said.

The drive was conducted by the J-K Drugs and Food Control Organisation to identify and take punitive action against “unscrupulous elements dealing with such drugs in a clandestine manner,” an official spokesperson said.

During the drive, it emerged that some wholesale dealers were procuring certain pharma preparations containing Pregabalin as an active ingredient, which is prone to addiction, he said.
