CM Buzdar wants strict action against companies selling substandard fairness creams

Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar on Tuesday directed action against productions of low-quality fairness creams.

The Punjab CM has approved ‘The Punjab Drug and Cosmetics Amendment Act’, according to which the drug regulatory authority will take action against companies making substandard fairness creams.

During the meeting, CM Buzdar said that previous governments failed to take any action against mafia selling fake cosmetics.

“There is no place for such kind of ‘mafias’ in PM Imran Khan’s government”, said CM Buzdar, adding that such people are playing with the health of the nation because they contained toxic ingredients.

Last year in July, the minister for climate change, Zartaj Gul Wazir had initiated a crackdown on fairness creams across the country and ordered strict action against those selling substandard products.
