Another 300 children are battling for their lives in different hospitals across the state. 
 
This has revealed the hollowness of the claims made by Nitish Kumar government on the health front. 
 
It has become a routine affair for the state government, it wakes up to the deadly encephalitis after the killer disease claim several lives every year in summer.
 
As per the medical experts, the disease has spread due to contaminated drinking water and lack of cleanliness in the rural areas of the state.
 
If the government  give proper attention to the supply of potable drinking water in the rural areas then the disease can be checked to a large extent. 
 
Ten districts including, Patna, Gaya, Muzaffarpur, Sitamarhi, East Champaran and Vaishali, have been declared as encephalitis-affected.
