This video investigates a nationwide health scare following the deaths of at least 14 children in Madhya Pradesh, allegedly linked to Cold Rift cough syrup containing the lethal industrial solvent diethylene glycol. An India Today investigation reveals a trail of negligence, including over 350 cited lapses at a Tamil Nadu-based pharma plant, and highlights regulatory failures in preventing the sale of toxic chemicals in common cough syrups. A nationwide alert and bans are in effect across multiple states, despite contradictory claims from the Rajasthan government regarding the syrup’s link to deaths. Expert Dr. Neelam Mohan states kidney failure can occur due to diethylene glycol. The program provides a ‘no panic cough syrup checklist’ for parents and a 10-point consumer guide for medicine safety, detailing ingredient verification and certification checks. Additionally, the broadcast covers the 2025 Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded for T-cell research revolutionizing cancer treatment, including India’s CAR-T cell therapy development. Other segments address the controversy surrounding former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s new official residence and relief efforts for displaced families affected by landslides and floods in North Bengal. #coughsyrupscandal #killersyrup #healthalert #itwe #fivelive #childsafety #drugsafety #fakemedicine #diethyleneglycol #indiatoday #sonalmehrotrakapoor #madhyapradesh #pharma #israel #bjp #tmc #biharpolitics #supremecourt #kantara #healthwarning #coughsyrup #bannedchemicals #nobelprize #tcelltherapy #cancertreatment #arvindkejriwal #delhipolitics #northbengal #landslides #mirik #disasterrelief #indianrailways
