The children dying in Madhya Pradesh's remote tribal heartland | BBC News India

At least 30 children have died since May in a cluster of remote villages in Balaghat district in Madhya Pradesh. The victims ranged from babies just three or four months old to an 18-year-old, and most were from the Baiga community - one of India's most vulnerable tribal groups. But disease is only part of the story. In remote, forested parts of Balaghat, where Maoist insurgency once took root, reaching a health centre can be a challenge in itself.
