MEDICINES ARE widely used today, in day to day life for different diseases. This has become a means to earn money for industries, and this has become a mafia operation which kills many people. Some companies are making duplicate medicines like tablets, syrups among others and selling them, in the markets to earn money. Some companies are packing the expiry date tablets in new covers.

Some other companies are using chalk powder and making them into tablets and releasing them into markets. Today the first motive of industries is to earn money at any cost. They are not bothered about the people. These medicines reach every inch of the country. People don’t know whether the medicine has gone beyond the expiry date or not. They only believe the doctors and medical representatives. By using these tablets the people will have new problems or diseases, some may even die. But the industries are never bothered about it.

Patients use these tablets unknowingly. By using these tablets, abnormal babies can be born, diabetes patients will become unconscious and other diseases will not be cured. More over it will increase the diseases but not solve the problem. Staging agitations, rallies for some days is not the solution to the problem. When this was unearthed the government setup a commission and asked it to give a report, which is highlighted for some days and then the company re-opens and releases the tablets into the market without any problems. Why is this happening? This is because of two reasons. The primary reason is our laws, which pronounces justice after many years. The other reason is the corruption in the government departments, Hence no action will be initiated against the company. In case any action is initiated, then the management will change its name and re-open the company and release the tablets into the markets without any problems.

Why is this is happening in our country? It happens only due to uncaring attitude of the management. When somebody dies, the company gives some compensation to the victims and stops work for sometime calling it holidays for workers. They also know that government orders to setup a commission will give a report after many years and the courts will take much longer to deliver justice. So, there is no problem for the management. We have many laws but are they being implemented. This will continue till unscrupulous managements are taken to task

The company’s main slogan should be "Money is for Company; Not Company is For Money". Companies should function not be purely for money. It should have social obligation too.
