What is Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC)?
MCC is a chemically inert substance — the human body doesn’t absorb it, and the skin shows no reaction.
It’s widely used as a binder and texturizer in pharma, food, and cosmetics to ensure proper weight and structure of products.
Though safe, its manufacturing involves risks if safety protocols are ignored — highlighting the urgent need for strong safety culture in industrial plants.

Sanjay Prakash & Others vs Union of India
🔹 Context: The Supreme Court had ordered the Union Home Ministry to “progressively reduce” deputation of Indian Police Service (IPS) officers to senior posts in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs). The aim was to curb IPS dominance and promote internal CAPF officers.
🔹 Current situation: Despite this ruling (May 23 judgment in Sanjay Prakash & Others vs Union of India), the Home Ministry has continued appointing IPS officers to senior CAPF posts (at least eight such appointments).
🔹 SC Order: The Court held that CAPFs’ Group A officers are part of "Organised Services" and IPS deputation posts should be reduced within a maximum of two years.
🔹 Impact: About 13,000 CAPF officers stand to benefit, with expectations of faster promotions and reduced stagnation. CAPF officers currently face long service periods (e.g., 25 years to reach Commandant rank, compared to IPS deputation officers who get promoted faster).
🔹 Next steps: Petitioners have written to authorities alleging contempt of court. They also seek recruitment rule changes to end IPS deputation and promote CAPF officers internally.
