HC bars vitamin-A distribution sans test

DHAKA: The High Court on Wednesday asked the authorities concerned to stop distribution of two types of vitamin-A capsules as they were not clinically tested.

An HC vacation bench comprising Justice Sheikh Hasan Arif and Justice Abu Taher Mohammad Saifur Rahman passed the suo-moto order.

The government distributed 10 crore pieces vitamin-A capsules of red and blue colors in 2012 that were not clinically tested and took initiatives to procure 3.65 crore vitamin-A capsules this year.

The court passed the order after a report titled ‘once again unapproved vitamin-A capsule to be fed to children’ published by Dainik Kaler Kantha on Wednesday.
