View Point: Child deaths due to hunger, malnutrition
Hunger and malnutrition deaths continue to be reported from Madhya Pradesh. Press reported that hunger forced a 11-year-old girl to commit suicide in Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur town. It is story of Sanjeeda, a resident of Moti Nagar in Jabalpur, who committed suicide by hanging herself. She was hungry for the past two days because there was nothing to eat in the house. 'I tried to get foodgrain under the Chief Minister's Annapurna Yojana (scheme) but all in vain', said Sanjeeda's mother Praveen to the police as per press reports.
