On News Today, an India Today campaign investigates the larger crisis behind the recent cough syrup deaths in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. A special report from Rajasthan reveals that hundreds of drug samples—from antibiotics and painkillers to cardiac drugs—have failed quality tests over the past year. L-lakhs of units of these substandard medicines were sold to the public before they were flagged. The investigation found that although labs conducted tests and filed reports, no significant action was taken until the state’s drug controller was suspended. According to procedure, every failed sample should lead to a court case and escalation for a nationwide ban, but this did not happen. The report highlights a slow and fragmented government response, concluding with the warning that "until India fixes its drug control system, every pill could be a potential gamble with life." #newstoday #indiatoday #coughsyrup #fakemeds #drugsafety #healthcarescam #publichealth #rajasthan #madhyapradesh #counterfeitdrugs #substandardmeds #health #medicine #investigation #pharma
