Jaipur, Apr 30 (IBNS) The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued notices to Rajasthan government regarding the death of 11 children, including seven differently-abled children in a government-run home near Jaipur, according to media reports.
It has been alleged that the children died after drinking contaminated water or food.
 
The Superintendent of J K Lone Hospital, where the children were taken to, said that the children were brought to the hospital after they complained of diarrhoea and vomiting, media reported. They showed signs of septic shock and septicaemia.  
 
Rajasthan Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Arun Chaturvedi said the cause of the death was yet to be ascertained and preliminary reports show it was some kind of an infection. He said that the blood samples have been sent for tests.
 
NHRC has asked the government to reply in two weeks.
