CCTVs now mandatory in pharmacies to combat drug abuse by children
New Delhi: Pharmacies and chemist shops across the nation will now be required to install CCTV cameras to strengthen efforts against drug and substance abuse by children. The new mandate is a key part of a joint action plan developed by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), and the Narco Coordination Centre (NCORD). Their directive urges states and Union Territories to prevent the sale of controlled substances—specifically Schedule H, H1, and X drugs—to minors. Schedule H drugs are those that can be sold only on the prescription of a registered medical practitioner. Schedule H1 includes specific third and fourth-generation antibiotics, some habit-forming drugs, and anti-TB drugs. Schedule X drugs are those with a high potential for abuse or dependence and include amphetamines, barbiturates, and certain narcotics. The new surveillance measure targets commonly misused medications such as codeine-based cough syrups (Schedule H1) and Alprazolam tablets and Tramadol capsules, which are Schedule X drugs. This initiative comes in response to alarming statistics on substance use among minors in India. About 2 million children aged 10-17 were users of sedatives for non-medical purposes, according to the National Survey on Extent and Pattern of Substance Use in India conducted in 2018. The survey indicated that about 4 million children in this age group were opioid users, although a breakdown for pharmaceutical opioids was not available. The 2018 data, released by the ministry of social justice and empowerment through the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre (AIIMS) remains the latest comprehensive national survey on substance use among Indian children. "It has been advised to stop, prevent and discourage the sale of dual-use medicines without a prescription," an official familiar with the matter said. "During the NCORD meeting, CCTV installation was urged at chemist or pharmacy shops across all states/UTs so that health authorities can verify records." Taking the initiative, the Delhi government's drugs control department issued directives on 22 July to chemist associations within its jurisdiction, asking them not to sell Schedule H, H1, and X drugs to minors without a prescription from a registered medical practitioner. 'Assistant Drugs Controllers/Licensing Authorities and Drugs Inspectors of the Government of NCT of Delhi are now tasked with monitoring and ensuring strict adherence to these new regulations. All Chemist Associations in Delhi have been urged to disseminate this crucial information to their members for immediate compliance,' the Delhi government said. The Retail Distribution Chemist Alliance (RDCA) has circulated the CCTV installation directive to members. However, it has sought clarifications for effective compliance about whether the mandate is a legal requirement under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act or merely an advisory. 'We also need to know if NCB guidelines directly apply to standard retail pharmacies, given their operations fall under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. Furthermore, we've asked if additional record-keeping or surveillance protocols are now mandatory. To avoid confusion, the RDCA urges a clear, formal directive, preferably under the Drugs Act, if CCTV installation is compulsory,' the alliance leadership said. They emphasized their commitment to ethical practices and public health, seeking clarity for full compliance.

Delhi govt orders CCTV cameras in chemist shops to curb misuse of medicines
To stop the misuse of medicines, the Delhi government has asked all pharmacies and medical stores to install CCTVs on their premises by July 31, news agency ANI reported. This move aims to control the sale of low-quality drugs and medicines that are often misused without a prescription. The order mainly focuses on high-risk medicines like codeine-based cough syrups, alprazolam tablets, and tramadol capsules. These are drugs that can be misused for intoxication and are often consumed by minors without proper medical supervision. NCORD meeting sparks action against misuse This move follows a meeting held under the 11th National Narcotics Coordination Portal (NCORD). The main goal of the meeting was to find ways to stop the sale of prescription drugs listed under Schedule H, H1, and X without a doctor's advice. Authorities acted after getting complaints that these drugs were being misused not only by people but also in other industries like textiles, chemicals, and food. The Delhi government, along with the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), hopes that setting up CCTV cameras will help in tracking and reducing illegal drug sales, the news report said. On this decision, an official letter said: "As per provisions of the National Narcotics Coordination Portal, in collaboration with the Narcotics Control Bureau, has been advised to stop, prevent and discourage the sale of dual-use medicines without prescription and an advisory dated August 1, 2024 on this matter was already issued earlier." i Understanding Schedule H, H1, and X drugs *Schedule H drugs include commonly used medicines like painkillers and flu drugs. Though they need a prescription, they are often sold over the counter without one. *Schedule H1 drugs come under stricter rules. Chemists are required to maintain a record of these sales, including the doctor's and patient's details. *Schedule X drugs are under the highest level of regulation. These include psychotropic substances, which have a high risk of misuse. They can only be sold with a valid prescription, and their storage is closely checked by authorities. All chemists and medical shops have been asked to install CCTV cameras by the end of this month. The cameras are expected to act as a deterrent to illegal sales and help authorities keep a better watch over medicine distribution.

How Can A Dentist Help Her Hear Again? Surat Woman's Case Baffles Everyone
Last Updated: A 63-year-old woman in Surat, deaf for nearly two decades, unexpectedly regained her hearing after a dental procedure. For nearly 20 years, 63-year-old Jaibunnisha M from Kosamba in Surat district could barely hear. Even the best hearing aids didn't work for her, leaving her cut off from the world. She stopped attending weddings and social gatherings. Many thought she had become distant because her children lived abroad. But in truth, she simply couldn't hear them. Everything changed in July this year. A cochlear implant surgery was planned to help her hear again. Her daughter, a radiologist, flew in from Dubai, and her other daughter, a dentist, stayed ready to help from the US. But something unexpected happened just before the surgery. 'I was sitting at home when I suddenly began hearing sounds," said Jaibunnisha as quoted by The Times of India. 'I ran to tell my husband. We even went to our neighbour's house to confirm it wasn't just us." Her hearing came back after she underwent dental treatments like full-mouth reconstruction, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) rehabilitation, and nerve decompression. According to the report, Dr Rishi Bhatt, a dental implant specialist, said, 'Her hearing improved after the dental work. It's possible that decompressing the nerve connected to the ear had an effect." Once unable to have a proper phone conversation, Jaibunnisha can now talk freely and is looking forward to joining family events again. Her daughter Tehzeeb said, 'My calls used to be one-way – she'd talk, we'd listen. Now she's back." Even her husband Abbas, who is a doctor, was surprised. 'At first, I didn't believe her," he told Times of India. 'But we thank the Almighty. The dental implant helped her hear again." Doctors say this may be a mix of science and miracle. For Jaibunnisha, what matters most is being able to hear again and reconnect with life. What was once a long silence has now turned into meaningful conversations, laughter, and new hope.
