In a shocking incident, a 3-month-old girl child choked and died while being fed an instant cereal by her mother at Hosapalya village in Madgadi taluk of Ramanagara district in Karnataka on Wednesday, January 31.

According to reports, the mother had been feeding the child with Cerelac, a brand of instant cereal made by Nestlé, for past 15 days. In fact, such cereals are advised to give only after the infant crosses at least six months. 

The mother said that the child became unresponsive after a brief struggle - kicking her legs, moving her hands, and crying. The child was then taken to Magadi government hospital, where she was declared brought dead.

Sources said that the child was born around six years after her parents’ wedding. The mother had reportedly suffered miscarriages twice and her husband had spent a huge amount of money for the treatment.

It’s in fact a murder. Infants up to six months are not supposed to be given anything except breastmilk of the mother. And breastmilk is compulsory at least up to the child turns 2 years old.

Hassan, Feb 9: Accusing the Centre for treating Karnataka as its enemy Former Minister and Congress leader UT Khader on Saturday said that the state did not get support from the Centre on the Mahadayi issue and flood relief and even the Union Budget.

Speaking to the media here, he said that the state has elected 25 BJP Lok Sabha members. Three from the state were Ministers in the Union Cabinet and another MP has been appointed president of the party’s state unit.

'None of them have spoken about the injustice done to the state in the budget. The budget document announced Rs 18,600 crore for the suburban railway in Bengaluru. But, ultimately the amount earmarked for the project is only Rs 1 crore. How can any BJP leader justify this?', the Congress leader wondered.
