Nineteen people fell ill after consuming panipuri sold from a pushcart in Mandepalli village of Rajanna Sircilla district. BRS working president KT Rama Rao spoke to officials and instructed party leaders to monitor the patients, whose condition remains stable.
The office bearers of Behala Noun Dal Durga Puja Committee, on Maha Saptami, the first day of the four-day Durga Puja festival, are now wondering how to prevent the revellers from tearing off the panipuri pieces from the pandal walls and taking them back home as mementos.
