HYDERABAD: High court chief justice Madan B Lokur stated that 40 percent of children in the country are being neglected with regard to health and nutrition.

He was participating in the 12th annual awards function of PC Reddi trust at Ravindra Bharathi here on Friday. In his address, Lokur said unfortunately a large number of talented youth in the country are going abroad and settling down there.

He felt that migration of talent should be stopped and society should provide better opportunities here.
