What happened

A video said to be from Kakra Anganwadi Centre in Maihar showed children being served puris with salt instead of a nutritious cooked meal. Officials said the clip may be around three months old, although it surfaced on social media only on Thursday. The Women and Child Development department has deputed a team, visited the centre, and sought a detailed report before action is taken. In public nutrition, the sequence remains painfully efficient: underfeeding, virality, probe.
