Telangana: 32 students hospitalised after alleged food poisoning in Gurukul School

NALGONDA (Telangana): Thirty two students of Ashram Gurukul School were hospitalised after consuming chicken meals on Sunday night and Pulihora rice on Monday morning at Mudigonda, under Devarakonda police station limits in Nalgonda district.

The school management shifted them to the hospital, where 13 were initially in serious condition but are now stable. Some of the other students have been discharged from the hospital. The doctors believe that the vomiting and loose motions may be linked to gas formation caused by consuming the Pulihora rice.

Nearly 40 kids fell ill after breakfast at Mudigonda Ashram School – some rushed to Devarakonda Govt Hospital, others to Thorrupalli.

This isn’t one-off. This is failure after failure.

During the BRS regime, food poisoning incidents were rampant.
