There are 40,200 allopathic doctors, 33,922 ayush doctors, 34,257 homoeopathic doctors, 5,203 unani doctors and 6,130 dentists, Bihar Health Minister Mangal Pandey said.

The minister was seen getting angry in a video over the official stopping him from entering an event venue.

Over 90 children, at the time of interaction with reporters, had already passed away due to the suspected Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) and the state of Bihar was reeling under a severe health crisis.

At present, there are 6,830 doctors working in the state, including those in medical colleges, he said.

A video of the operation theatre where the woman was being given stitches had come out, spotlighting the ailing health sector in Bihar.

Heard any controversy on Mughal-e-Azam, the mother of all period films? Mumbai films sell, and, with globalisation, have made their presence felt internationally. That, I suspect, is the root of the current debate on Mangal Pandey.
