Berhampur: Raids were conducted in homoeopathy medicine shops jointly by the Drug and Excise officials in Ganjam district to crackdown on illegal sale of medicines with high alcoholic content, official sources said on Friday.
The raids were conducted after several empty homoeopathy medicine bottles were found scattered near Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) building, the sources said.
Homoeopathy drugs with high content of alcohol were suspected to be used as a substitute for liquor by some people, the sources said. Moreover, these drugs were cheaper than liquor.
The Drug Inspector, however, said they did not find the particular drug from any of these two shops during the raids.
Moreover, several shops in the town sell homoeopathy medicines without proper prescriptions and without license, they said. [Source]
