seven-month-old twins Rohini and Rohit have been declared malnourished by a team
of the city's civic administration doctors, local media reported. India, home to
millions of underfed children despite its flourishing economy, will have
eradicated malnutrition by 2015, the country's health minister said. A
government survey released this year however found that 46 percent of children
under the age of three years were undernourished. [Reuters]
