WARANGAL: Twenty students fell ill with food poisoning after eating their midday meal at the Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya in Korkishala village of Mogullapally mandal, Jayashankar Bhupalpally district, on Monday.
After consuming rice and sambar, the students experienced vomiting, diarrhoea, and dizziness. They were immediately transferred to the Government Civil Hospital in Chityala mandal for treatment.
The affected students reported that they had suffered health issues for several days and had previously found worms in their food. They claimed that when they informed their teachers, they were told to “adjust” and eat, with a vague promise that higher authorities would be notified.
Parents expressed outrage and heartbreak, accusing the teachers and school management of negligence. They warned that such carelessness jeopardises their children’s health and demanded prompt, strict action against the responsible staff.
