Altaf Bukhari dismisses NCs statehood protest as short-term politics
Bandipora, 25 June: Apni Party leader Altaf Bukhari on Thursday dismissed the National Conferences campaign for the restoration of statehood, describing it as a short-term political move that would quickly disappear. Speaking to reporters in north Kashmirs Bandipora, Bukhari stated that the National Conference has a historical pattern of shifting its core political objectives once its immediate interests are secured. The National Conference has a track record, Bukhari said. In 1953, they declared the Plebiscite Front. Twenty-two years later, they called it vagrancy. Then they demanded Autonomy. Did it come? They abandoned it. Now they make off-the-cuff remarks about Statehood. This is also just for a few days. Once their own interests are fulfilled, you will see, after a month, this will amount to nothing. Bukhari noted that his own past political efforts to seek statehood were heavily criticized by the same leadership that is now organizing protests for the cause. In 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, decrees of betrayal and treason were issued against us just because we were asking for statehood, right? Bukhari said. They used to say we were implementing Delhi's agenda. Man, we are just happy that today, you people are also saying that this is what the people need. Addressing the National Conferences invitation to other political parties to join a protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, Bukhari rejected the approach as informal. Look, this isn't some offer for biryani that you just tell the people of Jammu and Kashmir, 'Come, have some biryani,' Bukhari said. This requires consultation. The standard practice for political parties is to consult each other first to decide how to approach a problem. Bukhari concluded by asserting that regardless of the current focus on administrative status, the loss of special status remains a permanent issue for the public. But I will say one thing: after giving statehood, bringing it, whoever brings it, the people of Jammu and Kashmir will never forget Article 370, Bukhari said.

QR codes now mandatory on vaccines, antimicrobials, cancer drugs
New Delhi, June 25: The government has expanded the ambit of the QR code-based track-and-trace mechanism to cover all antimicrobials, vaccines, anti-cancer medicines, and narcotic and psychotropic drugs, a move aimed at strengthening safeguards against counterfeit and substandard medicines. The Union Health Ministry has notified amendments to the Drugs Rules, 1945, bringing these categories of medicines under Schedule H2, which mandates the use of bar codes or Quick Response (QR) codes for product identification and verification. Under the amended provisions, manufacturers will be required to print or affix a barcode or QR code on the primary packaging label of the drug formulation, or on the secondary packaging where space constraints exist, the ministry said. The code will enable authentication and verification of medicines through software applications across the supply chain. According to the ministry, the QR code will contain key product information such as a unique product identification code, generic and brand names, manufacturer's name and address, batch number, manufacturing and expiry dates, manufacturing licence number, and details of excipients, wherever applicable. The ministry said the requirement was previously applicable only to the top 300 pharmaceutical brands in the country. With the latest amendment, its coverage has been significantly expanded to include all vaccines, antimicrobials, anti-cancer drugs, and narcotic and psychotropic medicines regulated under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985. The enhanced traceability framework is expected to strengthen safeguards against counterfeit and substandard medicines by enabling authentication and verification of products at various stages of the supply chain, it said. The ministry noted the measure would also support efforts to curb the distribution of spurious medicines and contribute to India's fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by facilitating better identification and monitoring of counterfeit and substandard antimicrobial products. To provide adequate time for implementation, the government has prescribed phased timelines for compliance. The provisions relating to vaccines, anti-cancer medicines, and narcotic and psychotropic drugs will come into force from July 1 this year while those relating to antimicrobials will become effective from July 1, 2028, the notification said.
