The untold stories of the Balaghat tragedy

Around 30 children were reported dead in Madhya Pradesh’s Balaghat district, raising concerns over healthcare, malnutrition and access to basic services.

Brut journalist Vaishnavi spoke to independent journalist Muskan Agrawal, who had travelled to Balaghat and reported from the ground. She told Brut about the challenges she faced while documenting the situation and speaking to families in the affected areas.
Her experience also highlighted the broader challenges journalists faced while reporting on stories that struggled to receive public attention.

From reaching remote areas to documenting what she witnessed, Muskan and other independent journalists’ reporting brought attention to the crisis in Balaghat.
