Raipur: Nearly 30 students fell ill after eating mid-day meals at their school in Chhattisgarh's Bemetara district on Saturday, district authorities said.
"Thirty students of a Primary school at Maugaon village complained of stomach pain and vomiting after eating the mid-day meal, following which 25 of them were rushed to Bemetara district hospital," Bemetara Collector Basavaraju S told PTI over phone.
"The condition of these 25 children is said to be out of danger and other kids were sent back home after a preliminary treatment at the village," the Collector added.
