Bihar: 60 children fall sick after eating midday meal, school refutes allegations

Hindustan Times  

Nearly 60 schoolchildren fell sick on Wednesday evening due to alleged food poisoning after consuming the midday meal in Bihar’s Araria, though the school administration dismissed the claims after consuming the food and in turn said that the children fell sick after attending a village feast. “Within a few minutes, over 50 children fell ill, triggering panic among villagers,” locals said. “Soon, we informed the local MP who talked to the civil surgeon and three ambulances were sent to the village to rush the sick children to the hospital.” “All children are safe,” civil surgeon Vidhan Chandra Singh said, confirming it to be a case of food poisoning. Meanwhile, school headmaster Abhinandan Rishidev said, “Out of 437 enrolled students, 227 were present on Wednesday and they were served ‘khichdi chokha’ in MDM as per schedule.” He alleged that the children of only one locality fell ill as they had eaten at the feast.
