Mumbai, August 15: Umang Singhar, the Leader of the Opposition in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly, has visited the disease-stricken villages in Balaghat district. He claims that 19 children have died due to infections and contaminated drinking water. On Friday, Singhar assessed the situation in the affected villages of Kundekasa, Bondari, and Korka. He met with the sick children hospitalized from these areas to inquire about their health and the medical facilities available.
Singhar also spoke with the families of the victims. He referenced statements from local residents, indicating that contaminated water and infections have spread in the region, leading to the tragic deaths of 19 children. He accused the administration of attempting to conceal the true figures. Given the lack of healthcare facilities and the difficult conditions faced by the local Baiga tribal community, Singhar urged the government to take immediate action.
He expressed concern over the alarming situation regarding contaminated water and malnutrition in the affected villages. Singhar insisted that the government should conduct health checks for every individual in the impacted area, especially children. He called for proper and free treatment for the sick children, along with adequate nutrition and clean drinking water. Additionally, he demanded appropriate financial assistance for the affected families.
The Leader of the Opposition called for a fair investigation into possible administrative negligence and strict action against any officials found responsible. Singhar criticized the BJP government for the deaths of 19 innocent children in the Baiga tribal areas, accusing them of trying to hide the actual death toll instead of addressing the issue. He pointed out that while the Chief Minister is leading a Tiranga Yatra, there seems to be no time to address the tears of these tribal families or to save the lives of their children.
