PTA blocks illegal drug websites
The Pakistan Telecommunication Body (PTA) has blocked four websites involved in the sale of unregistered and banned medicines, representatives stated on Wednesday.
The action was taken following a request from the Drug Supervision body of Pakistan (Drap), which had identified the websites engaged in the online sale of unregistered and smuggled drugs.
PTA representatives stated the move is part of ongoing efforts to curb the illegal online sale of medicines. As an initial step, four websites have been blocked, while further action will be taken against other platforms involved in similar activities.
