Now, the country’s drug regulator wants manufacturers and importers to demonstrate that the products they sell comply with safety standards and carry adequate warnings for consumers.In a circular issued on June 10, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) directed companies dealing in hair colour cosmetics to ensure compliance with the Cosmetics Rules, 2020, and applicable Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) norms governing ingredients, safety restrictions and labelling.The move comes amid heightened regulatory attention on cosmetic products and places the spotlight on ingredients used in hair dyes, some of which are subject to restrictions because of their potential to trigger allergic reactions or other adverse effects in sensitive users.CDSCO said hair colour products must comply with standards that specify which colouring ingredients can be used, which substances are restricted, and what warnings, directions and safety information must be displayed on labels. These include mandatory caution statements and patch-test instructions intended to alert consumers to possible allergic reactions before use.The regulator reminded manufacturers and importers that BIS standards classify cosmetic ingredients into those generally recognised as safe and those that are restricted or not recognised as safe for cosmetic use. Companies have also been told that any changes in product composition, quality specifications or labelling must be reported to the relevant licensing authority.While the circular does not announce a recall or enforcement action, it serves as a clear warning that companies are responsible for ensuring that products already on the market meet prescribed standards.The directive could lead manufacturers to re-examine formulations, packaging and consumer information provided with hair colour products, a category that has witnessed rapid growth amid rising demand from both younger users and ageing consumers seeking to conceal greying hair.Get the latest India news and live updates.

In a notice, NTA said the exam — for admissions to medical colleges — will be held from 2 pm to 5.15 pm. The additional 15 minutes will accommodate mandatory formalities (attendance signing and other procedures).Based on feedback received over the years, the agency said the revised schedule would ensure candidates get the full intended exam time without administrative processes affecting their opportunity to attempt the question paper.NTA has also doubled the rough-work space available in the question booklet. Candidates will now receive four rough-work pages instead of two. The agency has also changed the booklet layout. Earlier, rough-work pages were placed at the end of the question paper. Based on feedback that this was less convenient for left-handed candidates, two rough-work pages will now be placed immediately after the instruction page at the beginning of the booklet, while two will remain at the end.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Looksmaxxing streamer faces intense reactions during recovery stream File photo NEW DELHI: Supreme Court Friday requested former SC judge Justice Kurian Joseph to secure a permanent truce between IAS officer Rohini Sindhuri and IPS officer Roopa Moudgil, both of Karnataka cadre, who have been engaged in a bitter cross-defamation litigation after an ugly public spat three years ago.Observing that the officers were “destroying their own careers” through litigation, a bench of Justices Satish Chandra Sharma and Sanjeev Sachdeva told counsel for the warring civil servants to explore a mediated resolution to their quarrel. Lawyers for both sides accepted the court’s suggestion.Asking them to appear before Justice Joseph in July, the bench stayed proceedings before trial courts in the cross-defamation suits filed by the two officers against each other.In Feb 2023, Roopa had posted a series of social media posts against Rohini, including disproportionate assets allegations. Rohini successfully moved court to restrain Roopa from making defamatory remarks.Roopa’s challenge to the proceedings was rejected by Karnataka HC. On appeal, the SC had asked the two parties to resolve their differences. Rohini’s plea for quashing these proceedings was dismissed by the HC and she filed an appeal in the SC, which on Friday appointed Justice Joseph as the mediator.Get the latest India news and live updates.
