India today denied that it had agreed to take legal action against Indian drugs suppliers for violating procedures and supplying sub-standard medicines to Sri Lanka. An Indian High Commission release said that the High Commissioner Ashok Kantha in his meeting with the Sri Lankan Health Minister Maithripala Sirisena had agreed to work out a mechanism to prevent substandard and low quality manufacturers from entering the market by exploiting loopholes in the procedures. The statement said, while the High Commissioner requested for the details of the companies alleged to have violated tender norms, there was no discussion during the meeting on any legal action being taken by the Government of India against Indian suppliers. It said, Kantha told Sirisena that India had a well-established and vibrant pharmaceuticals industry, which was committed to supplying quality drugs at affordable prices.
