Sangareddy: Eleven students of Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) at Jharasangam fell ill, prompting mandal officials to conduct an inspection on Monday. The team found rotten tomatoes, bananas and other groceries in the school kitchen, along with insect-infested rice.

The officials also observed unhygienic conditions, with overflowing water from the sump causing stagnation, which had turned into a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
