Drugs control administration seizes illegal drug stocks worth 3.5L in city
1 2 Hyderabad: The Drugs Control Administration (DCA) in Telangana seized stocks worth 3 lakh after busting an unauthorised manufacturing operation of certain drugs at a pharmaceuticals company in Gajularamaram, Medchal-Malkajgiri. According to the officials, a total of 537 kg of albendazole tablets and 986 kg of albendazole granules, both intended for veterinary purposes, were manufactured illegally without a drug licence at the manufacturing facility of Siflon Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Ltd. In another case at Moosarambagh, officials seized formulations illegally marketed under the name of a pharma company operating without a drug licence, with stocks worth 52,737 confiscated. During the raid, the DCA officers detected formulations illegally marketed under the name of Biovus Pharma. The company's management failed to produce the requisite manufacturer-marketer agreement with the manufacturer of the drug and also failed to furnish a valid drug licence at the marketer's address indicated on the label. In the third case, officials found an Ayurvedic medicine with the label name 'Heamaadri Artho Care Pain Oil' circulating in the market with misleading claims of treating rheumatoid arthritis, which is a contravention of the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act. All the stocks of the drug were seized by the officials.

Bihani claims support of 18 DCAs, appoints ombudsman
1 2 Jaipur: The Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) ad hoc committee convener and BJP MLA Jaideep Bihani has appointed retired Supreme Court Justice Deepak Verma as the ombudsman, 'in line with Lodha Committee recommendations'. This decision follows the 'approval' of 18 District Cricket Associations (DCA), who authorised Bihani to appoint the ombudsman, ethics officer and election officer, as well as take action against the Bikaner and Pali DCAs. On Thursday, Bihani issued orders to revoke the affiliation of the Pali and Bikaner DCAs due to alleged financial irregularities and election discrepancies. "The decision was made under Sections 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 30 of the State Sports Act and Section 30C of the RCA Constitution. A decision on Jodhpur DCA is under consideration," said the convener in a press conference here at RCA Academy on Friday. Bihani announced that the RCA Annual General Meeting is scheduled for June 20. He also revealed that he has the consent of 18 DCA secretaries, who have authorised him to form various committees, including the cricket committee, standing committee, legal committee, finance committee and sub-committees, as well as appoint auditors and manage RCA bank account signatories. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Convener dismisses corruption allegations: Launching a sharp counter attack against ad hoc member Dhananjai Singh Khimsar's group, Bihani dismissed allegations of financial mismanagement, emphasising that all BCCI grants were transparently disbursed to players, match officials and vendors. "The Indian cricket board (BCCI) granted Rs 57.5 crore to the RCA over the past year, a testament to the committee's effective functioning. Would the BCCI provide grants if we weren't working?" he questioned while refuting corruption allegations against him. Bihani also criticised other members for calling frequent meetings to profit from travel allowance and dearness allowance claims, stating he has never claimed such benefits himself. Moreover, Colvin Shield will be held from June 7 and Bihani asserted that he will single-handedly organise the tournament if other ad hoc members do not cooperate.

Indians react to Karan Johar's new reality show, The Traitors. ‘Have some mercy on us'
'What is this ameero ka off season Splitsvilla?' wrote one Instagram user under Karan Johar's post. Another one wrote: 'The game we played on school trips and holidays is now basically a reality show.' The trailer has generated great interest among Indian viewers, who have all started sharing their two cents on social media. New Delhi: The highly-anticipated Indian version of reality show The Traitors will see Karan Johar play host to 20 contestants. The trailer, which dropped on Thursday, will see 'Rebel Kid' Apoorva Mukhija match her wit and cunning with actor Arjun Kapoor's sister Anshula Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty's husband Raj Kundra, Maheep Kapoor from Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, and other celebrities. People have also started naming their favourite contestants, such as influencer Apoorva Mukhija; others have compared it to the multiplayer online game 'Among Us'. Johar's post has garnered over 23,000 likes in five hours, and has 21,700 reshares so far. The Traitors The treachery and trickery will unfold at Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. The show will stream on Amazon Prime Video starting 12 June, with new episodes every Thursday at 8 pm. The three-minute trailer also features Telugu actress Lakshmi Manchu, and television stars Jannat Zubair, Jasmin Bhasin, and Karan Kundrra. All the contestants have a spicy backstory. Mukhija's remarks on Samay Raina's YouTube show India's Got Latent with podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia triggered social media outrage and led to multiple FIRs. Uorfi Javed is known for her daring costumes and her own reality TV show, Follow Kar Lo Yaar (2024). The Traitors will also feature fashion commentator Sufi Motiwala, who is represented by Karan Johar's Dharma Cornerstone Agency (DCA). They all have a single objective: to win the Rs 1 crore prize money after completing a series of physical and psychological missions. Players marked 'innocents' must find and eliminate the 'traitors' from among them, who will be secretly chosen at the beginning of the show by host Karan Johar. The reality show is based on the Dutch series De Verraders (2021), which has iterations in 30 countries. The American version is hosted by Alan Cumming and the British version by Claudia Winkleman. Game of trust, deception In the trailer, Karan Johar is dressed head-to-toe in a black, magician-like ensemble. Viewers are privy to snatches of contestants trying to figure out who the traitors are. In the clip, Uorfi Javed vows to shave her head if found to be a 'traitor', while rapper Raftaar, also a contestant on the show, says that he will 'stop rapping'. 'Yaha trust is rare, but dhoka everywhere (Trust is rare here, but deception is everywhere),' declares Johar. Some people, however, have criticised the Bollywood filmmaker for taking up the project. 'You'll do anything at this point to avoid directing a movie…who are you Riri? Wrote one Instagram user. Another one expressed disappointment at the content itself: 'Indians are fed up of seeing content like this! With the likes of Karan Johar and others! Same thing, old wine, new bottle. Have some mercy on us and give us good content.' (Edited by Zoya Bhatti)
