More than 100 children have died due to Acute Encephalitis Syndrome in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur district.
The deaths were initially considered due to children eating litchi fruits.
But now the Director of Muzaffarpur based National Research Centre on Litchi (NRCL) Vishal Nath has denied any link between Litchi and Acute Encephalitis Syndrome.
The NRCL is premier national institute for conducting research and developments on litchi fruit.
