HealthPhoto: The HinduFood Commission Inspects Nutrition Supplies in Attappadi Amid Infant Deaths
The State Food Commission, led by chairperson Jinu Zacharia Oommen and member Murukesh Cherunali, inspected anganwadis and a tribal high school in Attappadi following reports of infant deaths linked to malnutrition. They found nutrition packets without expiry dates and noted a decline in wheat supplies meeting quality standards. Nutrition supplies continue for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and children, with the Janani Janma Raksha scheme and mid-day meal program being implemented.
