Bhopal: Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has taken a firm stance following the tragic deaths of 11 children in Chhindwara district linked to the consumption of Coldrif Cough syrup. In a decisive move, the Madhya Pradesh government has imposed a complete ban on the sale of Coldrif syrup across the state. Raids are underway to seize all substandard and potentially harmful batches of the medicine.

Financial Aid Announced for Families and Free Treatment for Affected Children

The Chief Minister announced that each family of the deceased children will receive ₹4 lakh in financial assistance. Furthermore, the state government has committed to providing full medical treatment free of cost to children still undergoing treatment due to the syrup.

Investigation Reveals Toxic Diethylene Glycol Content in Coldrif Syrup

Tests conducted by the Government Drug Analyst and Drug Testing Laboratory in Chennai revealed the presence of 48.6% diethylene glycol — a highly toxic substance — in Coldrif syrup samples. This substance is seriously harmful to human health and is suspected to be the cause of the fatal poisoning in Chhindwara. Tamil Nadu Drug Controller has declared Coldrif syrup as “Not of Standard Quality (NSQ).”

Statewide Ban and Joint Investigation Launched

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav revealed that test samples of Coldrif syrup initially sent for testing were found invalid, prompting urgent and strict measures. The state has formed a joint investigation team to probe the matter thoroughly. The Chief Minister emphasized that those responsible for distributing the toxic syrup will face stringent action and “will not be spared at any cost.”

Regulatory Actions and Raids Underway Across Madhya Pradesh

Dr. Dinesh Kumar Maurya, Controller of Food and Drug Administration, has directed senior drug inspectors to immediately halt the sale and distribution of Coldrif syrup and other products manufactured by Sresan Pharmaceuticals. Existing stocks of the drug are being sealed and sent for further laboratory testing rather than being destroyed, in accordance with the Drugs and Cosmetics Act of 1940. The government is also closely monitoring the movement of these drugs across the state to prevent further circulation.
