This 5 live special report and India Today investigation scrutinizes India’s drug regulation system, detailing a deadly cough syrup controversy and a broader epidemic of substandard medicines. The report highlights a blame game between the Centre and the Tamil Nadu government following an India Today ground report from the Srisan Pharma plant in Kanchipuram, which identified over 350 lapses. The Centre held the Tamil Nadu FDA responsible, while the Tamil Nadu Health Minister confirmed the state did not procure the syrup, adding that a show cause notice was issued to Srisan Pharmaceutical Company and criminal action initiated. The investigation further reveals that in Rajasthan, labs flagged dangerous batches of antibiotics, painkillers, and cardiac drugs, but authorities reportedly failed to act, allowing millions of doses to be sold. This systemic failure within drug control departments, particularly in Rajasthan, where recalls and court actions were not enforced despite failed quality tests, led the state government to order a probe following the broadcast, questioning the safety of India’s drug supply. #5live #indiatoday #coughsyrup #killersyrup #healthcrisis #srisanpharma #tamilnadu #blamegame #drugsafety #fakemeds #investigation #exclusivereport #rajasthan #publichealth #indiatodayinvestigation #fakedrugs #drugscandal #healthalert #pharma #genericvsbranded #healthcarecrisis #medicinesafety #counterfeitmeds #india #healthcare #drugregulation
