Overview

  • Madhya Pradesh officials now say 20 children from the state have died after consuming Coldrif, with additional patients under treatment in Nagpur.
  • Government testing in Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh found roughly 48.6% diethylene glycol in Coldrif Batch SR-13, leading to an official ‘not of standard quality’ designation.
  • States including Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh and Puducherry have banned the implicated Coldrif batch and ordered seizure or withdrawal of stocks.
  • Madhya Pradesh detected excess diethylene glycol in ReLife and Respifresh TR syrups and initiated bans, and Gujarat regulators have prohibited both products statewide.
  • A public interest petition in the Supreme Court seeks a court‑monitored probe and transfer of FIRs to the CBI, as MP formed an SIT, suspended regulators, arrested a doctor and filed a case against the manufacturer.
