LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh government on Thursday admitted that 34 children — all below 12 years — died at the relief camps in Muzaffarnagar and Shamli districts between September 7 and December 20, 2013. The death toll was confirmed by the high-powered committee constituted by the government to look into the deaths of infants as reported by the media. The panel submitted its report to the government on December 25 and the findings would now be placed before the Supreme Court which is hearing petitions related to different aspects of the communal riots in Muzaffarnagar in which 61 persons were killed and over 50,000 got displaced. Briefing newsmen about the findings of the panel, Principal secretary (home) A K Gupta said, 4,783 people were still living in five camps including one in Loi in Muzaffarnagar district and another four at Madarsa Taimul Shah, Malakpur, Barnavi and Edgah in Shamli district. He said most of the children who lost their lives were the ones who had been taken outside the camps for treatment by their parents or were referred to government hospitals, Gupta said. "The cause of the death of all these children was different. Four of them died of pneumonia while some breathed their last due to dysentery. One infant died due to premature birth," Gupta added. The officer also admitted that that all those living in the relief camps were displaced people. The response came to question whether there were conspirators living there as claimed by the Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav. Initially the state government had outrightly denied any deaths at any of the camps in Muzaffarnagar and had even submitted an affidavit before the Supreme Court with similar claims. However, following sustained media campaigns, the court asked the UP government to verify the facts. Thereafter, the state government formed a panel on December 13, 2013 to look into the specifics. The committee was headed by the Commissioner, Meerut Division, Manjit Singh. The district magistrates and chief medical officers of Muzaffarnagar and Shamli were nominated as its members. The committee initially confirmed the death of 11 children. The same committee has now confirmed that 34 children had died at the camps. Gupta however denied that any of the victims had died of medical negligence or incapability of the doctors. "They had got medical attention," he said. The committee has also recommended that better medical facilities should be provided at the relief camps and the victims living there should be given more blankets and clothing to keep themselves warm in winters
