A day after a girl died, district administration intensifies checks
A five-day crackdown on hotels, restaurants and road-side eateries, flouting food safety norms, has been initiated by the district administration in Tiruvannamalai on Saturday, following the death of a 10-year-old girl after consuming food from a hotel in Arni on Friday. Her father, S. Anandan, who had food along with her at the hotel, is still in the ICU at the government hospital in the district. More than 30 people, including two children, who ate food in the same hotel, have been admitted to various hospitals, including the Government District Headquarters Hospital in Tiruvannamalai and the Government Medical College and Hospital in Vellore on Saturday. Many of them were admitted for common symptoms of food poisoning such as vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach pain and dizziness.More Related News
