Killer Cough Syrup: Over a Dozen Children Dead, Who Is Responsible? | India Today

Описание: More than a dozen children have died across India, with their deaths allegedly linked to a cough syrup. The drug combination, known as cold rift, has now been banned in at least five states. This report from India Today examines the central question: who is responsible for these deaths? International health bodies like the WHO have long advised against such cough syrups for children under six, raising questions about why they were prescribed in India. While a doctor and a pharmacist face action, the report highlights the lack of accountability from pharmaceutical companies and drug controllers. A key question raised is, "Why have only people who are the lowest hanging fruits perhaps and just an escape goat in a way being put the pin on?" The programme also includes political reactions, with calls from figures like Mr. Pilot for an immediate and independent inquiry into the manufacturing and oversight of these drugs.
