Several activists from different organisations staged a protest outside the Bihar Bhawan here Tuesday and demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar as more than 100 children have died due to Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) in the state.
They accused the Centre and the Bihar government of not being serious about containing the outbreak, and said the healthcare system in the state was mismanaged.
Many held placards with the message “Give adequate compensation to affected families”. Other banners asked Kumar and Bihar Health Minister Mangal Pandey to resign.
