Raising concerns over the deaths of three children, a newborn, 4-year-old Nithya and 9-month-old Sathya Sri in the last month and another 17 days-old-baby who died on Tuesday (August 20). Achyuta Rao, president of Balala Hakula Sangham who filed the petition stated, “The children were taken in an auto rickshaw instead of calling for an ambulance; this clearly shows the negligence of the officials.”
