SC Asks Addl Solicitor General To File Reply By Friday
New Delhi: The health and women and child development ministries have refused to give an affidavit to the Supreme Court on how many children die of hunger in India every year.
UNICEF says 50% of all the deaths of children aged below five years are from malnutrition. That works out to 2,438 children dying every day for lack of food.
