Tapentadol Hydrochloride

Chandigarh: In a first-of-its-kind initiative, the Director General of Haryana State Narcotics Control Bureau (HSNCB), OP Singh, on Sunday launched a podcast series aimed at bringing citizens closer to the frontline of the state's battle against drugs. The podcast, led personally by the DGP, is envisioned as a bridge between the public and the police, offering authentic, unfiltered narratives from ground operatives who are at the heart of this critical enforcement effort. Through this candid and deeply informed dialogue, the DGP offered listeners a rare glimpse into the operational realities of drug enforcement - the patterns, tactics, and human costs that rarely make it into conventional news reports. One segment of the podcast focused on the disturbing rise in abuse of pharmaceutical drugs such as Tramadol , Tapentadol , Alprazolam, and codeine-based syrups - substances that are legal under medical supervision but are increasingly being misused as substitutes for costlier and harder-to-source drugs like heroin and opium. The DSP in charge of the HSNCB's pharmaceutical enforcement wing explained how peddlers have begun exploiting legal loopholes and vulnerable supply chains to make these drugs available on the black market. "These tablets are cheap, easy to conceal, and often fly under the radar," he said, adding that teenagers and first-time users are particularly vulnerable due to the low cost and easy availability. "The damage these pharma drugs do - to health, families, and futures - is just as devastating," he said. The second half of the podcast turned the spotlight on inter-state drug trafficking - a key concern for Haryana given its strategic location. The DGP spoke with a DSP who was instrumental in tracking and intercepting smuggling routes from Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Delhi. The officer narrated several operations in which large consignments of commercial quantity narcotics were seized based on actionable intelligence, surveillance technology, and inter-agency coordination. "Inter-state trafficking is no longer just about physical movement," the officer explained.

Authorities in Jammu and Kashmir have revoked the licenses of four pharmaceutical companies after uncovering their involvement in the secretive trade of addictive medications. Healthways Pharma (Rajouri), Nuegene Pharmaceutical Distributors, N T Traders (Baramulla), and Essence Pharmaceutical Distributors (Srinagar) were all penalized following a rigorous inspection by the State Drugs Controller-cum-Licensing Authority, Lotika Khajuria. Investigators found these distributors were illegally purchasing and selling habit-forming drugs like Tapentadol and Pregabalin from neighboring states, while bypassing mandatory record-keeping requirements. This operation was described as a direct threat to public health and safety, particularly for vulnerable groups at risk of substance misuse. Officials emphasized that any action facilitating prescription drug abuse will face the strictest penalties. The public is urged to report suspicious pharmaceutical activities to the authorities’ helpline. This decisive move highlights the government’s commitment to fighting illegal drug trade and protecting communities from the dangers of pharmaceutical misuse.
