Drug Dept mandates CCTV cameras, computerised billing in pharmacies

Srinagar, Apr 12: The Drugs and Food Control Organization J&K has asked all the pharma establishments to install CCTV cameras and adopt computerised billing systems.
The Drug Department in an order said that the Apex Committee constituted by the Government of Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir (NCORD) has taken serious note of the failure of some pharma outlets to adopt computerised billing systems and installation of CCTV cameras (having storage of at least one month) within their premises.
“It is therefore impressed upon all such pharma outlets (retail and wholesale) operating within the UT of J&K who have failed to adopt the subject gadgets within their premises to get the same installed within a fortnight positively without fail,” the order reads.
The department said the order has been issued amid concerns about the menace of drug abuse and pilferage of psychotropic drugs for purposes other than licit use and as an abundant precaution in the larger public interest.
All the dealers shall report compliance with the said standing instructions before the concerned Drug Control Officer within a fortnight, it said.
The non-adherence on the part of stakeholders to the above instructions shall be treated as wilful disobedience which shall invite strict action under rules against the firms indulging in omission without any further notice, the department warned.
Installing CCTV cameras and adopting computerised billing systems are part of enhanced security and regulatory compliance measures. These systems play a crucial role in monitoring activities within the premises, deterring theft, and ensuring transparency in transactions.
CCTV cameras provide real-time surveillance, helping prevent pilferage of drugs and unauthorized access to sensitive areas. They also serve as a deterrent to criminal activities and provide valuable evidence in case of disputes or incidents.
On the other hand, computerised billing systems streamline the sales process and maintain accurate records of transactions. This not only ensures transparency and accountability but also facilitates regulatory compliance by providing a clear audit trail of all sales activities.
Such measures are essential steps to enhance security, prevent fraud, and promote regulatory compliance in pharmaceutical establishments.
