The High Court of Karnataka on Monday expressed shock on the status of infrastructure provided to anganwadis in the State after noticing that only 33,146 of the total 65, 911 anganwadis have electricity connection. The court also noticed from details submitted by the State government that there were no toilets in 21,686 anganwadis and fans were provided only in 29,560 anganwadis across the State. A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice Suraj Govindaraj made the observation during the hearing of a PIL petition initiated in 2011 based on a letter by one B.L. Patil of Vimochana Sangha, a Belagavi-based NGO, about children suffering from malnutrition.More Related News
