At least 26 students of a Mandal Parishad Primary School in Pedda Lodi village fell ill after eating biryani reportedly brought from a teacher’s residence. Fourteen students were admitted to Sadasivpet government hospital, while 12 were taken to Sangareddy.
Two days after suspected food poisoning sickened nearly 80 students at Jyotiba Phule Girls Residential School in Nagarkurnool, attendance dropped sharply. While management claims students are stable, concerned parents continue to withdraw children. Outsider access and outside food are now restricted
The Telangana High Court has taken serious note of the students taking ill due to suspected food poisoning at government-run schools and directed that samples from mid-day meals be collected from all such schools for lab analysis.
