The mid day meal affected the kids at Doda, Jammu and Kashmir. Nearly 6 kids have been admitted at district hospital due to food poisoning after consuming the mid-day meal served to them on Wednesday, June 15. Around thirty students of Government Middle School Bakhna Mahalla were affected but six of them remained critical.
What exactly affected the children's health?
While talking to the media, the students in the hospital revealed that the dal served to them was smelling foul. However, on bringing this to the notice of the concerned teacher the children were asked not to throw it off and rather consume it. "While we were eating our meal of rice and dal, the dal smelled. When we were about to throw the food, sir said that don't throw it away, eat it. So, we ate the meal. After half an hour, when we sat inside, we almost fainted, then they got glucose and made me drink it," said a student admitted in the hospital.
They further said that the trouble started when students started vomiting and complained of stomach problem. After the teachers were informed, they arranged for lemon water and administered it to the ailing students, which improved their condition. The parents of the students expressed concern over the quality of mid-day meals served to the students in rural areas.
