This comes as 963 deaths have been reported at the government-run JK Lon Hospital in Kota with over 100 infant deaths being reported in the month of December alone.
On December 29, Lok Sabha speaker and Member of Parliament from Kota, Om Birla, visited the hospital to meet the parents of the kids who died in the hospital.
