some activists and NGOs &#8211; working in the tribal areas informed the bench that 318 children had died due to malnutrition and lack of medical care between September, 2017 and January, 2018 in Melghat and its neighbouring areas.<\/p>\n<p>The government claimed before the court that the situation in these areas had &#8220;improved considerably&#8221; and that it was taking all possible remedial measures.<\/p>\n<p>The bench, however, took note of the petitioners&#8217; arguments that despite previous orders of the court, tribal areas in the state continued to grapple with inadequate medical facilities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;318 children from Melghat and its nearby areas succumbed to various diseases and ailments, and for want of proper medical care and aid. The learned Assistant Government Pleader submits that the situation has considerably improved and the state is monitoring and providing necessary backup services to these areas,&#8221; the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However, the petitioners inform that the tribal areas around Melghat and Nandurbar continue to face apathy and are still deprived of proper medical care and necessary infrastructure facilities,&#8221; it added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A status report be placed on record. And in the meanwhile, the state shall take immediate steps to provide necessary medical aid to the residents of the subject areas.<\/p>\n<p>It must also focus its attention on the children,&#8221; the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>It directed the state to organise medical camps, appoint doctors at least on contract basis, and arrange for vehicles to ensure that doctors and assistant medical staff reach these areas whenever necessary.<\/p>\n<p>In October last year, a bench led by then chief justice of Bombay HC Manjula Chellur had rapped the state government over its failure to provide adequate nutrition and medical aid for the tribal children.<\/p>\n<p>The bench had also passed a detailed order directing the state to inform the court of how the funds received for tribal areas were being utilised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bombay High Court today directed the Maharashtra government to list down the steps taken by it to implement previous orders of the court on tackling malnutrition in the state.
