the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government on Thursday regulated

Also, it will help control sale of unregistered and spurious drugs, both by the wholesale dealers and pharmacists. Chief Minister Pervez Khattak approved amendments to the Drugs Act 1976 and NWFP (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) Drugs Rules 1982. Before introducing amendments to the Drug Act 1976, Deputy Secretary Drugs Mohammad Ibrahim Khan said Secretary Health Abid Majeed and he himself had held a number of meetings with the stakeholders, particularly with the drug dealers, on the directives of Chief Minister Pervez Khattak and Health Minister Shahram Khan Tarakai, asking them to address all their genuine concerns.
