Girl starves to death over not linking Aadhaar, Ration Cards
An 11-year-old girl from Jharkhand's Simdega district has died of starvation after her family was refused subsidised rations on the grounds that their ration card was not linked to an Aadhaar card. With no school mid-day meals available during her Durga Puja holidays, the girl had gone with barely any food for nearly eight days before she died.
