"food-poisoning"

After Wednesday's incident, many students stayed away from school. With the previous agency's contract terminated, a new agency was brought in to prepare food. However, when the meal was served, students discovered worms in the rice. Teachers were immediately alerted and discarded the contaminated rice. Fresh rice was quickly arranged, and bananas were distributed to the students as a stopgap. By 3:45 PM, lunch was finally served.

Though the hospital management tried to cover up the issue, the news soon came out. When a few BRS leaders tried to visit the students at the hospital, the police tried to stop them and arguments took place between them.
