India, Canada to resume trade talks on Oct 5
Digital Desk | Milwaukee, Oct 3 (IANS) India and Canada will begin the next round of trade negotiations on October 5 as the two countries push to conclude a deal before the end of the year, Canadian International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu said a day after meeting Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on the sidelines of the G20 Trade Ministers' Meeting here. The meeting followed the fourth round of negotiations in Mumbai and came as Ottawa prepares to send a large business delegation to India this month. After wrapping up the fourth round of negotiations in Mumbai, I met again with Minister Piyush Goyal at the G20 ahead of the next round beginning October 5 to advance negotiations to conclude towards a deal before the end of this year, Sidhu said in a social media post. The disclosure provides a specific timetable for the next stage of negotiations and underscores efforts by both governments to accelerate economic engagement. India and Canada are seeking to expand bilateral trade significantly, with a shared target of reaching $70 billion by 2030. With more than $30 billion in two-way trade today and a shared goal of reaching $70 billion by 2030, there is significant room to grow the trade and investment relationship between our two countries, Sidhu said. The Canadian minister had earlier told reporters in Milwaukee that negotiations were moving forward and that both sides were focused on reaching an agreement. Sidhu said the discussions were not simply about concluding an agreement, but about securing one that worked for businesses and workers in both countries. The latest meeting between Goyal and Sidhu came during an intensive period of trade diplomacy surrounding the G20 ministerial hosted by the United States. Goyal held a series of bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the gathering as India sought to deepen commercial relationships with major partners while addressing broader questions confronting the international trading system. Canada is also planning a significant commercial push into India. Sidhu said he would lead a Team Canada Trade Mission to India this month with nearly 300 Canadian participants. Thats why this month I am leading a Team Canada Trade Mission to India, bringing close to 300 Canadian delegates from businesses across key sectors to make connections, find new customers and pursue opportunities in one of the worlds fastest-growing markets, Sidhu said. The size of the delegation points to growing Canadian business interest in India alongside the government-to-government trade negotiations. Sidhu identified critical minerals, energy, agriculture and technology among the sectors in which Canadian companies are looking for opportunities. From critical minerals and energy to agriculture, technology and other sectors where Canada is a global leader, we are helping Canadian companies build partnerships and grow in India, he said. The trade mission will therefore run alongside a renewed negotiating process as Ottawa seeks greater access to the Indian market and both countries try to increase investment flows. India and Canada have been rebuilding their economic engagement after a period of strained diplomatic relations disrupted high-level contacts and trade negotiations. The renewed talks have put commerce back near the centre of the bilateral relationship, with the two governments setting a target of $70 billion in two-way trade by 2030 and pursuing an agreement intended to provide businesses in both countries greater opportunities in each other's markets.

My anger was directed at such people who were there only to click pictures without realising the kind of atmosphere they were in. I had shown my anger towards such people and not Rajpal Yadav. I urge my friends in the media to not run misleading narratives, and please publish the whole truth, he added.

From Palladium to Bollywood, Suri remembers Kashmir
Srinagar, Oct 2: Bollywood actor-producer Sanjay Suri, who recently visited Kashmir for the International Film Festival of Jammu & Kashmir (IFFJK), has recalled his childhood in the valley, the circumstances that forced his family to leave in the early 1990s and his continuing emotional connection with Kashmir. Speaking to Rising Kashmir, Suri said he was 19 when the situation in Kashmir deteriorated in 1989 and he was then pursuing his graduation at Gandhi College. He had earlier studied at Burn Hall School and also represented Jammu and Kashmir in sports at the national level. I remember playing basketball, trekking and doing many other things. Those were very different times, Suri said, recalling his childhood and youth in Kashmir. He said the turning point for his family came after his father was killed on August 1, 1990. My father was killed on August 1, 1990, without any warning. We were not leaving. We thought, why do we need to leave? But three boys came home and shot him, he said. Following the incident and the imposition of curfew, Suri said, his family decided to leave Kashmir. That was the day when the family thought that we should move out of the valley. I completed my final year at MAM College in Jammu and later moved to Delhi. After a short stint in Delhi, I moved to Mumbai and eventually entered films, he said. Reflecting on the changes Kashmir has witnessed over the past three-and-a-half decades, Suri said several generations have grown up experiencing curfews, school closures and prolonged periods of uncertainty. Kashmir has seen a lot. Whether you are a Kashmiri or someone who came from outside, people have suffered. I hope we are in better times now, Suri said. According to him, people across the valley primarily want peace, prosperity and opportunities. Despite having spent decades outside Kashmir, Suri said he continues to visit the valley regularly. Suri said his emotional connection with Kashmir remains strong, adding that he sometimes jokes with his children about eventually returning to the Valley. I threaten my kids that when you go to college, I will go back to Kashmir, he said with a smile. When you have spent your childhood somewhere, you cant leave that place, but the connection remains. In Kashmir, there can also be a good environment for script reading because the distractions are less, he added. Suri also travelled down memory lane while recalling the cinema culture of Kashmir before the 1990s. We had Palladium and Regal. English films were screened at Broadway, Neelam Cinema and other theatres. I watched films of actors like Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna and Dilip Kumar, he said. Recalling the excitement surrounding popular films, Suri said, I have watched films like Sholay, Coolie, Amar Akbar Anthony - there were big posters and long queues. Tickets were available for around Rs 5. He also remembered the ticket windows at Palladium Cinema and the presence of black-market ticket sellers. Suri believes Kashmir has the potential to develop a vibrant regional film industry and tell its own stories to the world. Regional cinema is important because you tell your stories yourself. It is such a beautiful way to reach out to the world, he said. Pointing to regional film industries in Punjab and Tamil Nadu, he said Kashmir could also develop its own cinema rooted in its culture, people and stories. Suri, who has worked in films including Raazi and Firaaq, also recalled his experience of shooting I Am in Kashmir. It was a great experience shooting in Kashmir. The permissions were also issued smoothly, he said. The actor-producer said his recent visit to Kashmir for the IFFJK gave him an opportunity to reconnect with the Valleys evolving film ecosystem. I was happy to attend the film festival. It was a new experience for Kashmir, he said. Suri acknowledged that there were some glitches during the festival but said organising such an event on a large scale was itself significant. However, he emphasised the need to ensure that local filmmakers and artists remain central to the development of Kashmirs film ecosystem. Suri suggested that a comprehensive database of local artists should be created and maintained so that filmmakers and festival organisers can easily identify talent from Jammu and Kashmir. Suri also advocated establishing a dedicated film school in Kashmir to train young people in various technical and creative aspects of filmmaking. He said such an institution could help create a structured ecosystem for local talent and provide young filmmakers with opportunities to acquire professional skills without having to leave the valley.

Big B recollects his silly remark to surgeon at the operation table
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 3 (IANS) Veteran Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan recently recollected his unintentionally silly remark to his surgeon while he was rolled in for a surgery. On Friday, the Bollywood legend alongside his wife Jaya Bachchan, and the legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar graced the official launch of the memoir titled Dr. Blue authored by the renowned surgical oncologist Dr. P. Jagannath. During the event, the actor took a walk down the memory lane, as he reminisced about his first meeting with the author. He said, My first meeting with him was a bit of a joke. I have a habit of being more on operation theaters and operational tables than fortunately many of you have not. But there was an occasion when there was an emergency with me and I was struggling with an issue and I was put into the hospital and the doctors came and they saw and they did the usual stuff. One of my doctor friends was not satisfied with some of the results that were being shown. And he said, I want to spend a little more time. He went somewhere else and discovered that what was not being seen was actually seen by him. He shared, They immediately came back and said, 'You have to go in for a surgery'. It was past midnight. I said, 'Look, I want to sleep. I'm in pain. I'll get up in the morning'. He said, 'No, you have to do it tonight'. Eventually I agreed. Eventually I went and I was brought to the operation table and that's where I made one of the silliest remarks ever. When I was lying down, I saw this doctor wearing blue coming in front of my face and I said, 'Excuse me, how many times have you done this?' Now I regret having said those words as Dr. Jagannath had this eminent presence in all our lives, he added. Big B has a history of health issues. The actor had a liver issue, and once revealed that his liver works at 25% of its standard capacity. He also famously suffered an injury on the sets of his film Coolie. Back in the day, the entire nation prayed for his recovery.

World looks to India for answers to global challenges: Mohan Bhagwat
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 2 (IANS) Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat on Friday emphasised that the modern world is navigating severe dilemmas arising from conflicting priorities, noting that global expectations from India are higher than ever to offer a balanced, harmonious path forward. Addressing a gathering following his visits to international hubs, including New York, Toronto and London, Bhagwat observed that current global crises stem from individual pursuits that clash with collective welfare, conflicting allegiances, and development models that neglect environmental sustainability. Bhagwat underscored the need for a balanced approach where individual happiness does not infringe upon others, and economic progress goes hand in hand with ecological preservation. Drawing from ancient Indian wisdom, he highlighted that while the world appears fractured on the surface, everything is fundamentally interconnected. Harming one part of society or the environment ultimately impacts everyone, he said. Reminding the audience of India's historical ethos, Bhagwat said India has never imposed its ideology, invaded foreign lands, or enforced religious conversions. He said the Indian tradition is rooted in Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah, reflecting the universal well-being of all humanity. Bhagwat noted that India's national character was nurtured not by kings or rulers but by self-sacrificing saints, monks and thinkers who travelled across the subcontinent to unify society around enduring human values. Defining Dharma beyond ritualistic religion as a broader code of humanity and brotherhood, Bhagwat warned that a weakened moral foundation leads to national decline, while a weak nation places moral values at risk. He said preserving both requires collective societal commitment. Concluding his address, Bhagwat reiterated that for India to fulfil its duty of guiding the world towards global peace and well-being, it must remain a strong, morally grounded and culturally rooted nation.
Delhi BJP chief slams AAP, CJP for flop protests
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 2 (IANS) Delhi BJP President Harsh Malhotra on Friday attacked the AAP and the Cockroach Janta Party for staging a drama at Jantar Mantar and in Mumbai in the name of Protecting the Right to Vote. He said the gathering was not about safeguarding democracy but an attempt to conceal the Aam Aadmi Partys (AAP) potential defeat in the upcoming Punjab Assembly elections. In Delhi, the AAP staged a protest in collaboration with some communist parties, he said. Neither the youth of Delhi nor ordinary citizens turned up. The gathering consisted of only 500600 AAP workers and leaders. They assembled without permission, obstructed traffic, disrupted metro services, and then started crying that democracy is in danger, he said. These are the very people who indulged in corruption in Delhi for 10 years, were involved in the liquor scam, and are now levelling allegations against the Election Commission out of fear of defeat, he said. In Mumbai, some students staged a protest under the banner of the Cockroach Janta Party, he said, adding that this is the same CJP that was completely rejected by students in college campus elections in Chandigarh and Delhi. After securing zero seats, they are now creating a ruckus on streets, said Malhotra. This circus is being staged to divert attention from the failures of the AAP government in Punjab, unemployment, and the collapse of law and order, he said. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has always stood firm in defending the right to vote. However, the right to vote does not mean that you can spread falsehoods, gather crowds, and attack institutions, said Malhotra. I want to ask the AAP and these fake student organisations: Why has the drug menace not been curbed in Punjab? Why have the youth not been provided employment? he asked. The people of Delhi have rejected you. Now, the country will reject you as well. The BJP stands firmly with the Constitution and democracy, and we strongly condemn these hypocritical protests, said Malhotra. Delhi BJP Spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor said that the AAP leaders' protest alleging vote theft, levelling accusations against the Election Commission over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), and demanding the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar are clear signs of their political frustration. Despite their best efforts, AAP leaders failed to attract the participation of ordinary youth or Delhi residents in today's protest, making the entire exercise a complete failure, he said. The Delhi BJP Spokesperson said that the AAP appears to be facing certain defeat in the upcoming elections in Punjab and Goa, along with the likely loss of its national party status. Frustrated by this prospect, AAP leaders are now blaming the Election Commission and fabricating excuses to conceal their anticipated electoral defeat in both states, he said. It would be better for AAP leaders to focus on curbing corruption within their own government in Punjab instead of blaming the Election Commission, he said.

Vikrant Verma, Executive Engineer, CPWD Mumbai; Saurav Gupta, Vermas relative based in Pune; and Arvind Semwal, Vice President, Baya Company, were among those named in the FIR by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday, the official said. The arrested accused were produced before the Special CBI Judge in Mumbai on Friday, the official said in a statement. The accused were booked by the CBI for penal offences including criminal conspiracy, bribing a public servant, taking undue advantage, influencing a public servant by corrupt or illegal means or by exercise of personal influence, obtaining undue advantage without consideration by a public servant and abetment, the statement said. The FIR said that the real estate company wanted to obtain an NOC from CPWD Mumbai in respect of a parcel of land at Antop Hill, South Mumbai. It wanted the NOC to state that the CPWD had no claim on the aforementioned tract of land, which would enable Baya Company to carry out a construction project there. It was alleged that the accused Executive Engineer demanded undue advantage of Rs 1 crore, later reduced it to Rs 70 lakh, through his relative, for issuing the NOC. The FIR said, Source information revealed that on September 30, Saurav Gupta and Vikrant Verma had a discussion where it was mentioned by Gupta that he is considering summoning Semwal to a location near the mall opposite the L&T building in Navi Mumbai. He further said that he would collect the cash and would depart for Pune straightaway, the FIR said. The CBI laid a trap on Thursday and caught the relative of the accused public servant while he was carrying the bribe amount of Rs 50 lakh, which he had accepted from the Vice President of the real estate group on behalf of the Executive Engineer, said the statement. The Executive Engineer was apprehended at Vashi, Navi Mumbai, where he was waiting to receive the bribe. A manager of the real estate group and a partner of the firm seeking the NOC, who were present during the transaction, were also arrested, the CBI said. While approving the registration of the FIR, CBI Superintendent of Police Amit Vasava noted, The aforementioned commissions and omissions on the part of Vikrant Verma, Saurav Gupta, Arvind Semwal and other unidentified individuals constitute offences U/s 7,7A, 8, 11 and 12 of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 and U/s 61 (2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The construction firm has its registered office at 203-ZO4,2nd Floor, Orbit Plaza, New Prabhadevi Road, Mumbai and is represented by its partners Vilas Kharche and Anil Deshmukh. Arvind Semwal is currently occupying the position of vice president at the company, said the FIR. It was further found during the investigation that the NOC was issued without an entry in the dispatch register against payment of Rs 50 lakh, with the balance of Rs 20 lakh to be paid after a week, the CBI said. Searches were subsequently conducted at the premises of the accused and their associates in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Pune, which led to the recovery of cash of about Rs 53.87 lakh (in addition to the bribe amount of Rs 50 Lakh), documents relating to immovable properties and other documents, the CBI said.
Maha: BJP slams CJP protest at Shivaji Park, calls it political drama
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 2 (IANS) Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Member of Legislative Council (MLC) Pravin Darekar on Friday launched a scathing attack on the protest organised by the Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) at Shivaji Park, declaring it a complete failure driven purely by political motives. Darekar alleged that while the protest was originally billed as an agitation over student issues, it quickly morphed into a staged political drama targeted at Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Highlighting the dismal turnout at the venue, Darekar, at a press conference, claimed the event lacked genuine public backing and was hijacked by opposition political figures. He noted the presence of Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Mahesh Sawant, Sainath Durge, and several Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers, asserting that the protest had lost its original focus. Pointing to activist Abhijit Dipke, Darekar remarked that organisers had to repeatedly tell Dipke to stay calm, which, according to him, exposed the lack of coordination and substance behind the agitation. Darekar strongly condemned controversial statements allegedly made by Abhijit Dipke regarding B.R. Ambedkar and demanded an immediate public apology. Dipke allegedly claimed that B.R. Ambedkar's stature and intellect grew primarily because of Jawaharlal Nehru. Rejecting the assertion, Darekar termed the remarks deeply offensive and an insult to the legacy of the chief architect of the Indian Constitution. He accused the organisers of straying entirely from the core issue to engage in divisive rhetoric. Addressing concerns surrounding the Special Summary Revision (SIR) process of the electoral roll, Darekar clarified that the exercise aims to purify the voters' list rather than arbitrarily delete names. He emphasised that, under standard regulatory protocols, only ineligible entries or duplicate registrations are removed, and a clear procedure for claims and objections remains available to every citizen. Darekar accused the CJP of attempting to further its own political agenda by maligning Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and defaming the Election Commission as an institution. Firmly responding to Dipkes criticism of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Darekar advised critics to study Fadnaviss extensive political journey before casting aspersions. He stated that Fadnavis is a leader nurtured in the values of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) who has never indulged in power-hungry politics for a ministerial position. Darekar similarly dismissed criticisms directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, pointing to the Prime Ministers global standing and international impact. He concluded that the oppositions rhetoric against the RSS and central leadership exposed the protest as nothing more than an orchestrated political farce designed to gain media attention.
Bengal: SER announces 19 pairs of special trains for festive rush
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 2 (IANS) With the festive season approaching, South Eastern Railway (SER) has announced a number of special trains to clear the passenger rush. These trains will be run between various locations before Durga Puja, Diwali and Chhath for the convenience of passengers. Coaches have also been added to regular trains to increase capacity. SER will run 19 pairs of special trains. These will make 344 trips during the festival season. In addition, one pair of special trains operated by other zonal railways will also run through SER's network. We have also added 30 coaches permanently to various trains, further enhancing passenger-carrying capacity and strengthening the availability of accommodation on regular services, an official said. The special trains will originate from stations such as Shalimar, Santragachi, Digha, Ranchi, Hatia and Adityapur, and will run towards Charlapalli, Visakhapatnam, Khurda Road, Ajmer, Naharlagun, Puri, Thiruvananthapuram, Malda Town, Anand Vihar, Bano, Alipurduar, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Lucknow. A lot of planning was involved, the official said, adding that reservation details had been studied to understand where people from a particular place wanted to travel. The trains were decided accordingly. SER had run 19 special train services during the festive season in 2025. These trains had made 356 trips. Subsequently, eight pairs of these special trains were regularised as permanent services, providing passengers with continued connectivity beyond the festival season. In addition, 28 special trains from other zones passed through SER's jurisdiction. In 2025, as many as 74 coaches were augmented on a permanent basis on various regular trains to meet the additional demand. These arrangements will help those travelling to tourist destinations during the festival season, as well as those returning home from their places of occupation, the official said. He added: Hopefully, these arrangements will be sufficient. If required, further arrangements can be made depending on demand.

CJP launches Jail Bharo agitation at Mumbai's Shivaji Park to demand CEC Gyanesh Kumar's resignation
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 2 (IANS) The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) on Friday launched its Jail Bharo protest demanding the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, against the backdrop of reports indicating purported internal rifts within the poll panel. Despite heavy police deployment and denial of formal permission to hold the protest at Shivaji Park, thousands of citizens and supporters gathered at the spot, as slogans against the Central government and the ECI rang out. The demonstration, dubbed by organisers as Season 2 of their movement, comes in defiance of a permit denial by Mumbai Police, who deployed heavy security contingents and barricades around the Dadar precinct. The protest witnessed backing from public figures, intellectuals, and prominent Bollywood personalities who gathered to support the cause, emphasising that the right to vote remains fundamental to Indian democracy. Notable attendees included Shabana Azmi, Naseeruddin Shah, and Vishal Dadlani. In their remarks on the occasion, the Bollywood personalities reiterated that voting rights are under threat and highlighted the imperative to safeguard democratic institutions. Actor Prakash Raj also extended support through a broadcast visual message urging citizens to protect democratic integrity. Addressing the crowds, CJP founder Abhijit Dipke attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, CEC Gyanesh Kumar, and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, challenging the authorities while formally launching a Jail Bharo call, insisting that peaceful assembly to defend voting rights remains a fundamental constitutional entitlement. He directly challenged the Maharashtra Chief Minister regarding police warnings against unlawful assembly, saying CM Devendra Fadnavis, you spoke about putting us in jail for just 3 days. Had you said 3 months, the whole of Mumbai would have been brought to a complete standstill. Dipke also invoked the legacy of Maharashtras social reformers while rejecting state threats of arrest. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, we have one request for you. You are the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, a state built on a rich heritage. This is the land of Dr B.R. Ambedkar, Mahatma Jyotirao Phule, and Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj. You might have forgotten this legacy, but we have not. Such threats are not how Maharashtra operates. You claimed that protesting would mean going to jail. Does that mean you intend to lock us up? Then lock us all up! Don't just jail us for 3 days; put us away for 3 months. But know this -- the moment I walk out of jail, I will repeat the phrase you once used 'I will return, I will return, I will return', he said. Despite the police presence around Dadar Railway Station and key access points, protesters flooded Gate No. 6 of Shivaji Park carrying national flags and placards featuring satirical memes, popular film dialogues, and sharp slogans aimed at the poll chief. Slogans such as Gyanesh BRO, JUST RESIGN and Gaddaar Gyaanu Must Go resonated across the grounds alongside chants of Chale Jao and Vapas Do. The CJPs central charter submitted during the rally outlines three immediate demands directed at the Union Government and the Election Commission. They include the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, accompanied by a formal independent investigation into electoral roll management, an immediate halt to ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) operations, restoration of the January 2025 electoral lists, and a comprehensive audit of recent voter deletions and the repeal of the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners Act, 2023, to be replaced by a transparent selection process incorporating multi-partisan and civil society oversight. A parallel counter-demonstration emerged nearby, organised by a group styling itself as Gen Next Mumbai. Holding posters beneath the local statue of Dr Ambedkar, counter-protesters accused the CJP of creating unnecessary public disruption and misrepresenting constitutional processes. Several Shivaji Park residential associations also voiced concerns regarding traffic blockades, noise levels, and security risks in a densely populated residential zone. CJP leadership countered these complaints by claiming political interference aimed at creating artificial local friction against the movement. Mumbai Police personnel, including quick-response units and female police contingents, remain stationed along Cadell Road and Shivaji Park perimeters to prevent violence or movement toward state government offices. While minor scuffles over access barricades were reported, the gathering remained largely peaceful through late afternoon. CJP leaders said that Friday's Mumbai gathering marks the opening leg of a broader national campaign. Parallel drives and state-level rallies are scheduled across West Bengal, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar over the coming weeks, culminating in a planned mass demonstration at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi.

Maharashtra FDA cancels Cipla Warehouse Pune licence over alleged packaging, storage lapses
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 2 (IANS) The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cancelled the drug sale and distribution licences of Cipla Pharma & Life Sciences Ltd's carrying and forwarding (C&F) warehouse in Wadki, Pune, citing a series of alleged regulatory violations related to drug packaging, storage conditions, inventory management and documentation. The licence cancellation order was issued on October 1 by the Assistant Commissioner (Drugs), Division 3, Pune, following a fresh review conducted in accordance with directions from the Bombay High Court. The latest action comes after earlier proceedings initiated against the facility on August 27 were withdrawn and reconsidered under a revised regulatory process. According to the FDA, the earlier action had raised concerns over the packaging and promotion of Reactin Plus Tablets, a Schedule H prescription medicine. The regulator alleged that the product packaging contained unauthorised claims and highlighted several shortcomings in warehouse operations, including storage practices, record maintenance and procedures for handling expired medicines. Following the High Court's directions, the FDA issued a revised show-cause notice to Cipla on September 4. The company submitted its written response on September 11 and subsequently appeared for a personal hearing on September 21. After examining the company's submissions, inspection reports, records and applicable legal provisions, the licensing authority issued a fresh order revoking the licences. The regulator said the latest decision represented an independent determination based on the findings of the renewed proceedings and was not merely a reiteration of the earlier action. A key focus of the FDA's review was Reactin Plus. According to the regulator, the medicine's packaging described it as an analgesic and listed multiple uses, including relief from headache, muscular pain, backache, joint pain, sprain, body ache and toothache. The FDA also objected to the use of a human figure and visual depictions suggesting relief from muscular pain. The agency alleged that the claims, wording and illustrations on the packaging did not comply with statutory requirements and amounted to misbranding under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940. The regulator further stated that Cipla's responsibilities as the marketer of the product could not be avoided solely because the medicine was manufactured by a separate entity. Apart from the packaging-related issues, the FDA inspection reportedly uncovered several deficiencies in warehouse management. These included the absence of the mandatory Form 35 inspection book, inadequate storage infrastructure that resulted in medicines being kept directly on the floor, accumulation of dust on drug stocks and shortcomings in overall cleanliness and maintenance. The regulator also observed that expired medicines were allegedly not stored in a separately designated area clearly marked as Expiry-Not for Sale. In addition, it cited the absence of prescribed standard operating procedures and records related to the disposal of expired drugs.
