Ferozepur, February 4, 2026: The Drug Control Department, Ferozepur, conducted inspections at medical stores across the city following a secret tip-off and seized banned and controlled medicines from three shops of Rs.90,694 value. The action was led by Drug Control Officer Sonia Gupta as part of an ongoing drive against the illegal sale of narcotic and restricted drugs.

In another inspection at Baba Deep Medical Hall, Ahmed Dhundi, officials recovered seven varieties of restricted medicines, including Pregabalin and Tapentadol. A total of 198 capsules and 1,586 tablets worth ₹30,594 were seized due to the absence of purchase records.
