Rajasthan children death: CM orders probe

India Blooms News Service | | 30 Apr 2016, 07:06 pm
Jaipur, Apr 30 (IBNS) At least 11 people died in the last 10 days after allegedly consuming contaminated food and drinks in Rajasthan's Jamdoli area which made state CM Vasundhara Raje to order a probe into the incident on Saturday.

"Loss of precious lives in the Jamdoli incident is extremely heart wrenching. Strict action will be taken against the guilty," the CM tweeted.

"Have directed all concerned Departments to conduct inspections and take preventive measures," she said.

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued notices to Rajasthan government regarding the death of 11 children, including seven differently-abled children in a government-run home near Jaipur, according to media reports.

It has been alleged that the children died after drinking contaminated water or food.

The Superintendent of J K Lone Hospital, where the children were taken to, said that the children were brought to the hospital after they complained of diarrhoea and vomiting, media reported. They showed signs of septic shock and septicaemia. 

Rajasthan Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Arun Chaturvedi said the cause of the death was yet to be ascertained and preliminary reports show it was some kind of an infection. He said that the blood samples have been sent for tests.

NHRC has asked the government to reply in two weeks.
