IAP released it's position statement on ORS and electrolyte drinks.

https://t.co/chddU4WOxQ

1. Multiple emails to IAP for more than 4 years, to not take funds from Johnson&Johnson and Kenvue and not allow ORSL stalls in IAP conferences. Most of the mails and messages were not acknowledged.
2. I called out IAP on social media after being patient for 4 years. They considered expelling me from the IAP. IAP continued with ORSL stalls. I had to call them out again, because I prioritized child health to IAP.
3. The President Elect contender in 2024 messaged me saying she would take the matter up if she won. I had even campaigned for her thinking that some one with integrity would get elected and would not bow to Kenvue/Johnson&Johnson. After she won, she stopped acknowledging my messages.
4. I persisted with my PIL, writing to authorities, and on Social media. Letters from the parents, case reports from the paediatricians, and videos of parents being given the misbranded liquids in place of ORS.
5. Finally, FSSAI gave the order that misbranding, misleading labelling and marketing of beverages as ORS is not allowed.
6. THE ENTIRE NATION CELEBRATED ME EXCEPT FOR THE IAP.
7. Kenvue rebranded immediately to eRZL(restickered the remaining ORSL as eRZL and launched a new drink eRZL for daily hydration, and marketed the new eRZL as a new version of ORSL(violating the FSSAI order and the Delhi High Court Order).
8. I continued raising awareness that eRZL is not ORS, and that Sucralose containing drinks should not be given to children under 2 years of age, and not to be given to children daily because of the concerns expressed by WHO about the potential risk for disturbance of gut microbiota, diabetes, and related complications.
9. I filed a Trade Mark objection to the rebranding of ORSL to eRZL.
10. I reached out to the IAP president (the one who promised to take care of it), and she said she had to verify facts.
11. 3 weeks passed by. KENVUE AND JOHNSON&JOHNSON SENT ME A LEGAL NOTICE THREATENING TO PUT A DEFAMATION CASE AGAINST ME IF I DO NOT REMOVE MY POSTS. THEY ACCUSED ME OF POSTING MY CONTENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR VIEWS AND FOR COMMERCIAL GAINS.
12. They also posted on their page that their hydration portfolio has been presented in PEDICON.
13. I reached out to IAP to condemn the notice sent to me, to condemn the public statement by Kenvue which indirectly said IAP supported ORSL s scientific validity, to ask Kenvue to rebrand eRZL completely so that it doesn't mimic ORSL, and to not promote their drinks as daily hydration drinks for children.
14. Many senior paediatricians condemned the notice. Gujarat paediatricians have decided to boycott Kenvue and Johnson&Johnson products. Many medical bodies had by then condemned the notice issued to me:
@IndiaESI, @FAIMA_INDIA_ , HRDA Andhrapradesh, HRDA Telangana, MARD Thane, MARD Nagpur, JUDA Ahmedabad, Telangana JUDA, JUDA Ranchi, T-SRDA, GARD, Telangana Doctor's Forum, RDA Aligarh, RDWS UP, IMA Hyderabad Airport, Endocrine Society of Telangana, Indian Doctor's and Dermatologists against quackery.

15. IAP DOESN'T CONDEMN THE NOTICE ISSUED TO ME, DOESN'T CONDEMN THE PUBLIC STATEMENT BY KENVUE, BUT RELEASES A POSITION STATEMENT WHICH EMPHASIZES ON ELECTROLYTE DRINKS FOR NON DIARRHOEAL DEHYDRATION AND ON THE SAFETY LIMITS OF SUCRALOSE WITHOUT MENTIONING THE OTHER ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS, AND WITHOUT WARNING THE PARENTS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL RISKS OF LONG TERM INTAKE OF SUCRALOSE. NOW, KENVUE CAN USE THIS STATEMENT TO PROMOTE SUCRALOSE CONTAINING DRINKS AS DAILY HYDRATION DRINKS FOR CHILDREN. THEY ARE EVEN NOW WANTING TO EXPEL ME FROM IAP, AND AGAIN SOME SENSIBLE PAEDIATRICIANS WITH INTEGRITY ARE STOPPING THEM.

SO, NOW, WHAT DO YOU UNDERSTAND FROM THIS?!
CAN I FIGHT THE CORPORATES INSPITE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING? WILL I BE ABLE TO?

[Dr.Sivaranjini @dr_sivaranjani]

Yes. #BoycottKenvue #BoycottJohnsonJohnson
unless @Kenvue and @JNJHealthEquity 1. you issue a public apology for misbranding sugary liquid as ORS and selling it for 2 decades at the cost of health and lives of children inspite of knowing what was happening at the ground level. If it was in the United States, you would be facing thousands of litigations from parents(parents of those children who suffered because of the deception.
2. Rebrand your tetrapack beverages completely so that there is no visual similarity to ORSL
3. Do not use ORSL in your marketing of these newly branded tetrapacks.
Please Note: We are not talking about the WHO recommended formula here.

[Dr.Sivaranjini @dr_sivaranjani]

I am Dr. Sivaranjani, a pediatrician , raising concerns about how ERZL is being marketed and positioned in pharmacies, and the risk it creates for consumers making critical decisions during dehydration.
This issue is not about whether ERZL is safe in isolation.
It is about how it is presented, perceived, and potentially misunderstood in real-world settings.

ERZL is a commercially marketed electrolyte drink. However, its branding and advertising raise serious concerns.
*It should not be using ORSL in its communication.*
Why?
Because:
* ORSL itself is not the original medically recommended ORS
* Referencing ORSL in any form creates brand recall in the minds of consumers
* Instead of reducing confusion, it continues and reinforces it
When ERZL is positioned as a continuation or replacement of ORSL, it keeps that same association alive — especially among parents who may already believe ORSL was equivalent to ORS.
👉 This defeats the very purpose of regulatory action.

In pharmacy settings:
* People are often making quick decisions under stress
* They rely on familiar names and visual cues
* Branding can directly influence what they choose
If ERZL continues to build on ORSL recall, it risks being perceived as a medical solution for dehydration, even when it is not the same as ORS (the medically recommended solution).

There are also concerns around ingredients like sucralose, especially in children and with prolonged use, based on global health guidance.
This makes clear communication even more important.

After raising these concerns, I have received a legal notice from Johnson & Johnson and Kenvue.
This petition is not about conflict.
It is about:
* Clarity in healthcare communication
* Preventing consumer confusion
* Ensuring responsible branding and advertising
* Allowing doctors to raise public health concerns without hesitation

We urge the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to:
1 *. Ensure that, since ERZL closely resembles ORSL, Kenvue is directed to rebrand it in a way that does not create recall or association with ORSL.*
2. Prevent misleading positioning that may confuse consumers
3. Strengthen enforcement at the pharmacy level
4. Ensure clear differentiation from medically recommended ORS
5. Protect healthcare professionals raising genuine concerns

In healthcare, even small confusion can have big consequences. Clear choices save lives.

@volklub @volklub Tagging in case it was not in your feed/notification. Thanks.

[Deepak Vijayvergiy @dvsquare]

@volklub Hello sir, can you suggest some good mats for slavia. I have basic one I got as complimentary from showroom 2.5 years back, I feel like I should change it, specifically something if I can get for the middle portion of the back seat legspace. Thanks.

@NammaBESCOM Docket number 104050226929542, but no update yet. There are multiple houses in our society this is done. I repeat - "current reading" is taken properly, but "previous reading" from system was taken from "last to last month" and NOT "last month", and hence more units.

[Deepak Vijayvergiy @dvsquare]

@NammaBESCOM @1912 This is not at all moving, I am getting no response on the email from the officers on this.
Looks like this was done intentionally by BESCOM by doing wrong calculation and generating huge bills.

[Deepak Vijayvergiy @dvsquare]

@NammaBESCOM I wanted to raise a complaint about wrong reading for the latest bill here - https://t.co/KEx3cGQASW
It fails with the error - "Something went wrong."
Please help.
Previous reading was wrong - its the same as last month's previous reading, hence double the bill.

[Deepak Vijayvergiy @dvsquare]

@NammaBESCOM @1912 already wrote to helpline email, and they have cc'ed some AE, AEE etc, but no further action yet. I feel, its done intentionally to some houses in our society where units < 200. Do I need to write to MD, Bescom? Or CM? or DCM?

@ecitytrfps @gopinathkarangu @Captain_Mani72 @BDAOfficialGok @GBAChiefComm @ecitytrfps is making fool of everyone, they have installed signals more than year back, but it never works - peak or no-peak. Always chaos there. Single cop cannot manage unruly motorists, and without any order/logic they just stop some flow, run some flow. Incompetence at best.

[Deepak Vijayvergiy @dvsquare]

Why @ICCCBengaluru @GBAChiefComm not acting on this complaint? Why the anti-social elements who are defacing our roads and footpaths are not booked?

@ICCCBengaluru @osd_cmkarnataka
@GBA_office
Sarjapur road and Gear school road is defaced by big big political hoardings, they have made footpath un-walkable, Can you please remove these hoardings and also take action upon the anti-social elements?
Thanks in advance. @kdevforum

[Deepak Vijayvergiy @dvsquare]

@GBAChiefComm @GBA_office @ICCCBengaluru is there any action taken and plan to remove?

@officialepfo My wife has been trying to withdraw her EPF amount unsuccessfully from more than a year. The latest tracking-id is 10082757975505001 - "Rejected by field office".
What do we understand from this?
Is it recommended to write RTI for this, & cc to @mansukhmandviya

[Deepak Vijayvergiy @dvsquare]

@BLRAirport Nonsense decision and then on top of that you are advertising.

[Deepak Vijayvergiy @dvsquare]

@IndiGo6E Is this bot responding? or human but can't understand a simple query? Will I be accomodated in alternate flight to my destination or I will be left like that just by refunding whatever amount I paid 3 months for this ticket and have to buy 3 times new ticket from other airlines?

[Deepak Vijayvergiy @dvsquare]

@IndiGo6E I have a indigo flight in 2 weeks, and by when will I get to know if it's flying or cancelled? And if cancelled, will I be accomodated in alternate flight to my destination?

[Dr.Sivaranjini @dr_sivaranjani]

There is a limit to our patience! Delhi High Court has clearly ruled that tetrapacks/foods/beverages misbranded as ORS cannot be sold! Only WHO recommended formula ORS is allowed to have ORS on it's label! Inspite of the Delhi High Court's order, ORSL is being sold everywhere! I request child rights groups and human rights groups to take this up! These liquids worsen dehydration and diarrhoea! Diarrhoea kills! These liquids can land a person with Diabetes in Diabetic coma!
I request the Supreme Court of India to take Suo moto cognizance of this total disrespect for the law of the land and callousness towards the health and lives of children! @JPNadda @narendramodi @ApolloPharmacy @Apollo24x7 @MedPlusIndia @ZeptoNow @kenvue @pharmeasyapp @Truemedsindia @WHO @UNICEF @UNICEFIndia @MoHFW_INDIA @fssaiindia

@kiranshaw @DKShivakumar Where? East has been still neglected. Look at Sarjapur road, Kasavanhalli Rd, Harlur Rd, Silver County Rd - Its a mess around there. Pot-holes are becoming bigger, deeper while waiting for the full road laying. Footpaths are encroached. Wrong side driving is rampant. @kdevforum
