In a distressing recurrence of events, India is grappling with yet another wave of child fatalities linked to contaminated cough syrups. Recent reports from Jammu reveal the deaths of at least 12 children under five years old, allegedly caused by toxic ingredients in locally manufactured cough remedies. This tragedy echoes similar incidents in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, where children succumbed to kidney failure after consuming syrups laced with diethylene glycol, a hazardous industrial solvent.
