Contaminated cough syrup causes child deaths prompting license revocation and urgent government investigation.
The recent tragedy in Madhya Pradesh has drawn nationwide attention: 22 children lost their lives after consuming contaminated cough syrup, and now the Tamil Nadu government has taken strict action.
Sresan Pharmaceuticals, the company behind the deadly Coldrif syrup, has had its manufacturing license revoked. Authorities cited serious lapses in the company's quality control and highlighted negligence by regulatory officials who failed to inspect the unit since 2022. Two senior drug inspectors in Kancheepuram have been suspended, and the company’s owner, G Ranganathan, was arrested by a Special Investigation Team from Madhya Pradesh.
The central government has also criticized the Tamil Nadu drug authority for allowing the production of such unsafe medicines. Public outrage has grown as citizens demand accountability for these preventable deaths. Experts stress the need for stricter regulation and more frequent inspections of pharmaceutical companies, especially those producing medicines for children.
Families affected by this tragedy are seeking justice, and the government’s swift action is being seen as a critical step in restoring public trust. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance, regulatory compliance, and prioritizing safety in healthcare products.
