On this India Today Newsbreak, the focus is on the escalating blame between the Union Health Ministry and the Tamil Nadu government over cough syrup-related deaths. Sources within the central government state that the Tamil Nadu FDA is responsible for ensuring checks on manufacturing units. The report indicates the central drug authority, CDSCO, had already recommended the cancellation of the manufacturing licence for the Chennai-based firm, Sresan Pharmaceuticals, after a contaminant was confirmed. However, the power to cancel the licence lies with the State Drug Controller. This incident, which follows similar tragedies linked to Indian-made syrups in Gambia and Uzbekistan, has been called "highly embarrassing for a country that’s actually looking at exporting these medicines across the country," highlighting critical gaps in India’s drug safety framework.
