Haryana to be 'medical intoxicants free' state in 2013-14

All out efforts are being made to make Haryana a 'medical intoxicants free' state in 2013-14.
Stating this here today, a spokesman for the Haryana Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) department said the state had already emerged as the first 'Hookah Bar free State' in the country during the financial year 2012-13.
He said Haryana was also the first state in the country to implement the provisions of Infant Milk Substitute, Feeding Bottle and Infant Food (Regulation of Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 1992/Amendment Act 2003.
The Act aims at discouraging promotion of infant milk substitute products and promotes breast feeding in the state.
He said online licensing and registration of Food Business Processors under Food Safety and Standards Act 2006 would also be introduced.
He said in Haryana, the conviction for violations under Drugs and Cosmetic Act was more than 75 per cent which was the highest in the country.
He said outlay of the Department had been raised from Rs four crore in 2012-13 to Rs 14.42 crore in 2013-14 to further strengthen it and enhance its efficiency.
