In a shocking revelation, six children in Madhya Pradesh have contracted HIV during thalassemia treatment, a scandal being labeled as a 'failure of governance' by Congress officials who criticize the ruling BJP.

Contaminated blood transfusions at hospitals in Satna, Jabalpur, and other districts have been implicated, with health officials urged to account for this tragic event.
