By A Staff Reporter

Nagpur, Maharashtra: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Thursday expressed serious concerns over a cough syrup produced in Tamil Nadu that allegedly caused kidney damage and deaths among children in his state.

Speaking at an event, Yadav said, “In Madhya Pradesh, children’s kidneys were damaged, and some died after consuming cough syrup made in Tamil Nadu. Our police went to the location where the medicine was produced and arrested some individuals, but the Tamil Nadu government is not cooperating as it should.”

He emphasised the need for a thorough investigation by the drug controller into the non-standard medicine and called for a detailed report on the matter. “It is true that, regardless of where the pharmaceutical companies are located, the ultimate responsibility for medicines lies with them,” Yadav added.
