Directs Maharashtra Chief Secretary to look into the issue

Mumbai:
The Bombay High Court today expressed dissatisfaction over Maharashtra government’s lack of sensitivity in addressing the increasing number of malnutrition deaths in tribal areas of the State.

Hearing a host of Public Interest Litigations (PILs) regarding malnourished children in the Melghat region of Vidarbha and other tribal areas, a Division Bench headed by Justice V. M. Kanade directed the Maharashtra Chief Secretary to look into the issue and inform the court on what steps would be taken to address the problem.

“State government officials have failed to wake up from their deep slumber, and have a completely insensitive approach towards the situation and the condition of the children who come from the lowest rungs of the society,” Justice Kanade said.

The court said that it hopes the government would now take the issue seriously, failing which the court would be forced to direct the Secretaries of the concerned government departments to remain personally present in court, and would initiate contempt proceedings against them.

The court noted that orders and directions passed in the case in the last eight years have remained only on paper and no progress has been made.

“The problem appears to have been addressed at superficial levels, but the core issue has not yet been resolved. The government’s schemes seem laudable on paper but none of them is implemented,” the court said.
