Jaipur: One more child with special needs staying at a government-run home near Jaipur, was today admitted to hospital with symptoms of diarrhoea, taking the total number of children undergoing treatment after allegedly drinking contaminated water to nine.

"15-year old Pinky was admitted today with symptoms of diarrhoea," officials at the JK Lone hospital in Jaipur said today.

Four children are admitted at the SMS hospital and five are in the JK Lone hospital.

Eleven people with special needs, including eight children, staying at a government-run home in Jamdoli died between April 16 and 27.

With the opposition hitting out at the Rajasthan government over the deaths, the Vasundhara Raje dispensation had appointed a three-member committee to probe the matter which would submit a report in 15 days.

Meanwhile, the superintendent of the government facility was removed by Rajasthan government yesterday.

"Superintendent Anita Muwal was removed and put under Awaiting Posting Orders (APO) status to ensure a fair inquiry in the matter by a committee of three members," Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Arun Chaturvedi said.
