"food-poisoning"

Parents question the school management about the worms in the undercooked meals, and raise concerns over frequent illnesses among children

Students from Primary School, Chennaram village under CM A Revanth Reddy’s constituency protested saying that they were being served with poor quality rice and dal and half-cooked food.

As students complained about sickness, school staff shifted them to Dharmapuri government hospital, where they are undergoing treatment

In yet another case of food poisoning in government-run schools in the State, four students of Scheduled Castes Boys' Hostel in Jukkal mandal headquarters allegedly fell ill due to food poisoning on Friday.

All government schools have been instructed to send invitations to parents ahead of time, giving them sufficient opportunity to prepare traditional Telangana dishes such as 'Sarvapindi', 'Sakinalu', 'Nuvvulu', and 'Ragi' laddu, among others, and bring them to the Parent-Teacher Meeting (PTM) scheduled for December 21.

During the Question Hour, Congress member MS Prabhakar alleged that the incident of food poisoning was taking place as part of a conspiracy hatched by a former IPS (Indirectly targeting BRS leader RS Praveen Kumar) who played a crucial role in running social welfare residential schools.

Mess committees comprising students should be formed in schools, allowing them to oversee all activities from cooking to serving. This way, students can address any lapses in ensuring food quality, he explained. "In the future, I will visit residential schools, inspect the food quality, and interact with the students. Anyone found being irresponsible will face strict punishment," he added.

The Collector visited the hostel on Thursday and confirmed that the students had fully recovered from the illness. He also announced that the suspended staff would be replaced with new personnel. To ensure the safety of drinking water and its use in cooking across schools in the district, 12,000 H2S test vials were procured to check the water quality.

Recurring incidents of alleged food poisoning at government’s residential schools have sparked a public outcry, igniting debates about the quality, hygiene, and safety of meals being served to students.

Mild tension prevailed at the hospital after BRS and BJP workers staged protest and demanded stern action against the staff for their negligence.

The school staff claimed that the students fell ill after consuming snacks from outside the school campus.

If any officials were involved in these conspiracies, criminal cases would be booked against them and they would be terminated from service, she said.

Chief Secretary A. Santhi Kumari issued orders on Thursday to establish a committee comprising the Headmaster, Principal, or Warden, along with two other staff members from the institution. The committee is tasked with inspecting the storeroom and kitchen before each meal is prepared, ensuring the quality of provisions and maintaining hygiene in the kitchen.
