Mumbai, 12 Dec:
Karnataka Drugs Control Department has requested the Ministry of Health
and Family Welfare, (MoHFW) Government of India, to sanction the
appointment of 100 new drug inspectors within the state. The approval
for the same is expected within the next two to three days. The full
fledged procedure is likely to be completed in next three months.
Revealing details on the appointment of new drug inspectors, Dr
Bharatesh Jagashetty, Drug Controller, Karnataka state said, "Currently
more than 100 drug inspector posts are vacant in the state which is
effecting day-to-day activities. To solve this issue, we have requested
the Ministry to approve the appointment of 100 new drug inspectors and
allot the funds accordingly."
Jagashetty added, "The Ministry has almost agreed to our
suggested proposal and within the next two to three days, we shall
receive approval."
In addition to the lack of serving drug inspectors, the state had
to recently suspend the services of two senior inspectors as well as
three other staff as they were found guilty of accepting bribes.
"We are also reorganising the department structure within the
next three months. Also, we are in the process of adopting e-governance
in the system," Jagashetty added.
