(Photo credit: ANI) NEW DELHI: Citizens will now be able to check the prices of medicines and lodge complaints related to drug pricing through a single government platform, following the integration of two key portals operated by the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA).In an office memorandum issued on Tuesday, the NPPA announced the integration of the Pharma Jan Samadhan portal, which handles medicine-related grievances, with the Pharma Sahi Daam portal, which provides information on medicine prices. The unified platform will operate through the Pharma Sahi Daam app and portal.The move is aimed at simplifying access to information and grievance redressal services for consumers. Until now, citizens had to use separate portals for checking medicine prices and filing complaints. With the integration, both services will be available through a single interface.NPPA said the two initiatives were originally launched to promote transparency, accountability, citizen participation and access to affordable medicines. The authority noted that integrating the services would improve convenience for users and help create a more efficient and user-friendly digital experience.According to the memorandum, the integration is part of the government’s broader push towards digital governance and the principle of “Minimum Government, Maximum Governance”. Officials said the unified platform is expected to improve ease of access, increase public awareness about medicine pricing and grievance mechanisms, and reduce duplication of services.The Pharma Sahi Daam platform allows citizens to compare the prices of medicines and verify whether scheduled drugs are being sold within the ceiling prices fixed by the government. The grievance portal enables consumers to report issues related to medicine pricing and seek redressal.The integrated platform has become operational with immediate effect, and the NPPA has asked stakeholders and members of the public to continue accessing services through the unified Pharma Sahi Daam interface.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Vijay; Udhayanidhi Stalin NEW DELHI: Tamil Nadu leader of the opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin on Tuesday appeared to make a personal jibe at chief minister C Joseph Vijay, suggesting that a “wife is searching for her husband at the Chengalpattu court.”Although Udhayanidhi did not take names, Vijay’s estranged wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, has filed for divorce.The case is currently pending before the Chengalpattu Family Welfare Court, which was the same court referenced in the DMK leader’s remark.”The entire state of Tamil Nadu is aware of the story of the wife searching for her husband at the Chengalpattu court. Therefore, the chief minister must set aside the persona of @actorvijay” and, at least from now on, conduct himself as “@CMOTamilnadu,” Udhayanidhi said.The former deputy chief minister made the remark while attacking the actor-turned-politician for addressing the Tamil Nadu assembly in “cinematic” style.Vijay, who heads the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), has been repeatedly scrutinised over his acting background—an issue he addressed during his speech.”Some people say that I came directly from a film shooting set to become chief minister. In their own language, I would say that is just a ‘reel’,” ANI quoted him as saying.”Most people start a political party first and then go to the people.
