ISLAMABAD:
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has blocked four websites involved in the sale of banned and unregistered drugs, officials said on Wednesday.
The move was taken following a request from the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (Drap), which had identified websites dedicated to the online sale of unregistered and contraband medicines.
PTA officials said the move is part of ongoing efforts to curb the illegal sale of medicines online. As an initial step, four websites have been blocked, while additional action will be taken against other platforms involved in similar activities.
