An eerie silence hung over an alley in the Marathi Mohalla of Bhagirathpura, where Avyan Sahu lived with his family. A routine act of diluting packaged milk with water reportedly turned fatal for the infant, plunging the family into unbearable sorrow. According to the family, Avyan died on December 29. She added that due to insufficient breast milk, the infant was fed packaged milk and milk powder mixed with water drawn from a municipal tap. Now the government should ensure that no mother is robbed of a child due to contaminated water."
