New Delhi: At least 28 students of a Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) school in central Delhi’s Inderpuri were hospitalised after their health deteriorated on Friday. The parents informed that they noticed their kids’ health was getting bad when they returned home from school.

The cause of the incident is uncertain and not yet found

After the students fell sick, parents started complaining that the kids’ heath got deteriorated after they ate mid-day meal at the school. Meanwhile, the police has also sent the food samples for testing and awaiting for the results.

Meanwhile, the authorities have turned down the claims that the incident took place due to a leakage of some gas at a nearby Railways line.

This alarmed the school as well as the authorities who immediately formed a four-member panel to investigate the matter. The committee will include an assistant commissioner from the MCD, a zonal superintending engineer as well as an official from the Delhi Directorate of Education (DDE) and the district health officer (DHO).

Committee formed 

To probe the matter, the committee will inquire the children, teachers and other staff to find out the real cause of the incident. The kids who fell sick are students of classes four and five from Nigam Pratibha Vidyalaya. They were rushed to the hospital when they complained of vomitting after inhailing a foul smell.

Allegedly, the kids fell after the classes resumed post the lunch. As per the information, all the kids were discharged from the hospital on Saturday itself.
