Pharmacies in Ranchi are still selling cough syrups without prescriptions, defying a recent health ministry ban. The Union health ministry amended drug regulations in June to stop over-the-counter sales of cough syrups. Inspectors are now warning pharmacies about potential action for violations. Despite the ban, shops in areas like Albert Ekka Chowk, Lalpur, and Kokar were observed selling these medicines freely to customers.
