Altogether 100 children have died and 57 others were undergoing treatment at various hospitals due to outbreak of the Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) in Bihar since May this year, state's Health Minister Ashwani Chaube said today.
Loss of power in Bihar has upset the Bharatiya Janata Party's calculations for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls but a section of its leaders also see a chance for the party to break the dominance of regional parties in the state, like it has in Uttar Pradesh.
