Agartala, Oct 28: The poor condition of an Anganwadi Center under the Department of Social Welfare and Social Education has once again come to light, this time in Telkajla village of Mohanbhog RD Block under Sonamura sub-division. 

Reports suggest that the Anganwadi Center, serving the local children, has been plagued by numerous issues for a long time, allegedly overlooked by state authorities.

The center reportedly failed to open regularly as per the government schedule, with activist Molina Nath Majumder opening it at her discretion.

Disturbing reports from parents indicate that rice stored for preparing the children’s khichdi often has rodents in it, but the staff allegedly continue using it without concern. Besides, the rice used in cooking is reportedly stale, posing potential health risks to the children.

Parents and local residents have voiced their concerns over the issues and urged the concerned department to take immediate action to address the issues at this Anganwadi Center.
