M.P. children served midday meal on scrap paper on R-Day; second incident in 3 months

Madhya Pradesh government schools are facing renewed scrutiny over the quality of midday meals after a video surfaced showing students eating on scrap paper in Maihar district. This incident follows a similar one in Sheopur last year, which sparked nationwide criticism and backlash against the state government. Mohan Yadav, the Chief Minister, has been criticized by the Congress party for his alleged lack of sensitivity towards children's well-being. The Collector of Maihar has recommended the suspension of the school principal and is investigating the incident further.
