The report also alleged widespread filth in the area and claimed that these conditions were causing infections and that children continued to die from diseases.
It said the administration had woken up only after more than 30 deaths, following which the number of hospital beds was increased, and health services, sanitation and cleanliness arrangements were improved in the area.
After examining the report, the Division Bench issued notices seeking responses from the authorities. The next hearing in the case has been scheduled for September 18.
Last week, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had raised the matter, saying the deaths showed a complete failure of the BJP government in the State and urged the Chief Minister to personally resolve the issue.
