SPURIOUS BLESSINGS
Mumbai : It has been found that medicines sold in mobile vans around the city ,manufactured at Aasaram bapu’s ashram, have no mention of Manufacturing date and expiry date. These medicines are disposed by Aasaram Bapu’s desciples. According to the Drug and Cosmetic Act ,even Ayurvedic or Unani medicines need to display their manufacturing and expiry dates as well as the contents and the quantity. A particular eyedrop by the name of NETHRA BINDU was being sold without proper details printed on the bottle. Despite a leading TV channel, TV9 , covering this case last year ,on Mr. Barai’s request, these medicines were still available freely . There has also been a case registered in Godhra , where a man has lost his eyesight after using these eyedrops. The Maharastra FDA very promptly intervened and this particular eyedrop has been lifted from the market. However, there are still other medicines being disposed from these mobile vans without proper details on them.
