Controlling import and use of formalin

In a report published in TDS on June 15, there was an idea put up by Prof. Faroque of DU's Pharmacy department. The idea is quite pragmatic and should be adopted as soon as possible. Increasing the duty and taxes on formalin can be a measure to stop the widespread use of it. Only authorised users would be allowed rebate on the penal duty and taxes after proving records. The authorised users' physical stock and records or consumption should be verified and inspected periodically.
Similarly, formalin imports should be restricted, and a full inquiry about the importer should be made mandatory. All their sales and deliveries also need to be verified.
