Over 600 babies died at six major hospitals across Rajasthan and Gujarat in December last year, agencies reported amid outrage over the alleged lack of life-saving equipment in government medical institutions. The first reports of the kind emerged from the JK Lon Hospital in Rajasthan's Kota, where 100 infants died in a span of just one month. Even as the BJP accused the ruling Congress of negligence, similar deaths were reported from party-ruled Gujarat too.
