Advocate Neha Bhide, appearing for the Maharashtra government, told the court that all steps were being taken to address the issue.
The Bombay High Court on Monday warned the Maharashtra government of stern action if there are any more deaths of children due to malnutrition in the State’s tribal belt. A division Bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice G. S. Kulkarni was hearing a public interest litigation filed in 2007, highlighting the high number of deaths of children, pregnant women and lactating mothers in the State’s Melghat region because of malnutrition. The plea also raised concerns over the lack of gynaecologists, paediatricians and radiologists in the public health centres of the region.
