What did the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) advise state drug controllers to do after the contaminated cough syrup deaths?
Ensure testing of raw materials and finished formulations before market releaseFollowing the tragic deaths of children in Chhindwara linked to contaminated cough syrup, the DCGI issued an advisory urging all state and UT drug controllers to mandate testing of each batch of excipients, active ingredients, and finished products before market release. The advisory noted that many manufacturers were not complying with prescribed standards, leading to substandard or contaminated medicines. This directive aims to prevent future incidents by strengthening pre-market quality checks. The move came after inspections revealed systemic non-compliance in manufacturing facilities. The DCGI emphasized the importance of verifying compliance at every stage of production.

Which high court received petitions seeking a CBI or NIA probe into the attack on MP Khagen Murmu?
Calcutta High CourtTwo petitions were filed in the Calcutta High Court seeking investigations by central agencies—CBI and NIA—into the violent attack on North Malda MP Khagen Murmu, an ST leader, during relief distribution in Jalpaiguri. One PIL specifically requested invoking the SC/ST Act, while another cited lack of faith in the state police probe. The court had already permitted the filing of these petitions, with hearings scheduled for October 14. Five individuals were arrested, but the BJP alleged that those named in the FIR were not among them, suggesting a cover-up. The case has intensified political tensions between the TMC and BJP in West Bengal.
