@IndianTechGuide It took dozens of innocent children losing their lives for the Health Ministry to finally issue this advisory. Where was this caution when toxic syrups were being freely sold and exported? Accountability must follow, not just advisories.

@IndianTechGuide In Madhya Pradesh, 9 children died due to cough syrup. When deaths occurred abroad from these syrups, no attention was paid. This is a very big concern.

@IndianTechGuide Only in India does the Health Ministry wake up after children die from contaminated syrups. Health ministry specializes in post-mortem policymaking, wait for the disaster, then issue an advisory like a band-aid on a corpse.
