Inquiry Ordered After Video Shows Children Served Poori with Salt at MP Anganwadi
A video showing children at an Anganwadi centre in Maihar, Madhya Pradesh, being served only poori with salt sparked an inquiry by local authorities. The District Programme Officer ordered a probe after the clip went viral. Officials later stated the video is nearly three months old, captured mid-meal, and does not represent current conditions. The inquiry noted the anganwadi worker was absent due to vaccination duties, and the video’s circulation may be linked to local disputes involving a self-help group.
