Dozens of students in Tamil Nadu were taken to hospital after a food contamination scare at a Coimbatore Corporation school.
At least 44 students from a government school in Tamil Nadu were rushed to hospital on March 10 after a lizard was discovered in the midday meal served to them, triggering panic among children and staff.
The incident took place at a Corporation Middle School under the Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation’s West Zone, where students from Classes 4, 5 and 6 were eating their midday meal when the contamination was noticed.
According to officials, a total of 44 students, 31 boys and 13 girls, were affected. Once the presence of a lizard in the food was detected, authorities immediately arranged ambulances and shifted the children to the District Government Medical College Hospital for treatment.
The affected students, who are currently undergoing treatment, were later visited by Coimbatore City Mayor K Ranganayaki Ramachandran and Municipal Commissioner M Sivaguru Prabhakaran.
