The Centre has constituted a team of multi-specialists which will visit Bihar on Wednesday to assist the state after at least 30 children died this month. “Death toll of children plagued with symptoms of AES and the JE reached to 31 so far in this season,” he said. He urged parents to get informed about the symptoms of the two diseases [AES & JE] and take adequate precautions. Kumar said that while situation had been good in the past two years as deaths as a result of AES and JE was minimal, 2019 has been a bad year so far as several parents lost their kids.
