Congress pinning hopes on D K Shivakumar's magic in Kerala too?

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Will there be a D K Shivakumar effect in the Kerala assembly election as had happened in Telangana? The question has popped up with the appointment of Harsha Kanadam, a protg of the Karnataka deputy CM, as chairperson of the Congress state war room in Thiruvananthapuram to oversee its campaign and strategy formulation. It doesnt mean Shivakumar will be directly involved in Congress election strategy planning, but there are enough straws in the wind that suggest the ace strategists possible deep involvement in the process. Shivakumar had played a pivotal role in the campaign and Congress subsequent return to power in Telangana, a leader from Karnataka told TNIE. He held no official positions, but was camping in Telangana to oversee the campaign and drawing up strategies. In the last Lok Sabha election also he helped the Congress in Kerala, he said. Of the five states going to polls next year Assam, West Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, the high command pins high hopes on Kerala to wrest power. Helping Congress wrest power 1st priority: Harsha However, the disunity within the state leadership with a group of senior leaders eying the CM post has been a concern for some time. Harsha Kanadam would take charge after meeting the leaders at the war room in Delhi. My first priority is to help Congress wrest power in Kerala, Harsha told TNIE. We will be connecting to the people at the grassroots with technology. This will be done by taking into confidence local leaders and with the guidance of senior leaders. I will be accessible to all workers, he added. Harsha was an AICC observer in Haryana, Maharashtra and Delhi assembly elections. The Congress high command is of the opinion that unless the party came to power in maximum number of states, particularly in south India, its future would be bleak.

Madhya Pradesh SIT probes drug firm in Tamil Nadu after 20 kids die of cough syrup poisoning, factory sealed

A seven-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) from Madhya Pradesh, led by an Assistant Commissioner of Police, conducted a probe at the factory of a drug manufacturer near Chennai on Wednesday to investigate the deaths of 20 children in Madhya Pradesh allegedly caused by contaminated cough syrup. The SIT later visited the companys registered office in Chennai to gather documents and CCTV footage. Officials said the factory owner had left the premises three days earlier. The Tamil Nadu police assisted the SIT during the inspections. The pharmaceutical company, based in Chennai, had supplied the cough syrup Coldrif to markets in Puducherry, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and other states. Earlier, the Tamil Nadu government had sealed the pharmaceutical factory in Kancheepuram district on Tuesday evening. Madhya Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla said on October 7 that 20 children had died from kidney failure after consuming the syrup. Tests conducted by the Tamil Nadu Food Safety and Drug Administration found the samples from the factory to be adulterated, following which production was ordered to stop immediately. Five children remain critical after contaminated cough syrup claims 20 lives The state government also banned the sale of Coldrif from October 1 and directed that all stocks be removed from the market. The company has not yet issued any statement. 'Public alert - stop use notice' against two cough syrups in Telangana Meanwhile, the Telangana Drugs Control Administration issued a public alert stop use notice for two other syrups -- Relife and Respifresh TR -- manufactured by Gujarat-based firms, after laboratory tests in Madhya Pradesh detected the toxic chemical Diethylene Glycol (DEG). Authorities urged the public to stop using these products and report them to local drug control offices. The incident came to light after six children, aged between one and seven, from different parts of the Parasia area (also known as Koylanchal for its coal mining activity), died from kidney-related complications after consuming adulterated cough syrup. The children initially suffered from cold and mild fever. Local doctors prescribed routine medications, including cough syrups. After taking the medicines, the children initially appeared to recover, but within days their symptoms returned, accompanied by a sharp decline in urine output. Dr Praveen Soni , who prescribed the syrup to kids in Madhya Pradesh, has been arrested on charges of negligence. However, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) defended Soni , arguing that systemic lapses by the pharmaceutical company and regulatory authorities also contributed to the tragedy. The IMA has demanded strict action against those responsible for the deaths linked to contaminated cough syrup, compensation for affected families, and support for the doctor. It criticised the poor drug regulations and mishandling of the case. Tests suggest the syrup contained toxic chemicals and was wrongly sold for children under four. The Madhya Pradesh government has suspended two drug inspectors and a deputy director, and transferred the state drug controller. The Union Health Ministry found one of ten syrup samples failed quality tests and has launched inspections in six states. Several states, including Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, have banned Coldrif syrup and seized contaminated batches. The Punjab and Himachal Pradesh governments have also banned the sale, distribution and use of Coldrif cough syrup. Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh have started safety drives and surveys, while opposition parties have demanded accountability and a judicial probe into the regulatory lapses behind the tragedy. A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Supreme Court demanding a CBI probe and sweeping reforms in Indias drug safety framework following the incident. (With inputs from PTI)
