Six children in Chhindwara (MP) and Rajasthan fell ill or died from kidney infections after consuming cough syrups, while others recovered. Coldrif and Nextro-DS were banned, and multiple samples are under testing. Rajasthan set up a three-member committee to probe Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide syrup deaths, with over 20 batches suspended. NCDC is investigating; results are pending.
