Mangalore,
Jun 11: All the
children who developed symptoms of food poisoning after having breakfast in
a Muslim residential school in Natekal near Ullal on Tuesday June 9, have
been recovering. At present, only seven continue to be treated in the
hospital.
About
70 students had taken ill after having food on Tuesday morning. Out of
them, 23 had been admitted into a hospital in Derlakatte as in-patients. 16
students have since been discharged.
The
parents of all the students of the residential school have taken their
wards home. A three-day holiday has been declared for the school. The lab
report on the food and water of the new tube well, which have been sent for
testing, is awaited.
MLC
Kota Srinivas Poojary visited the school on Wednesday and inspected the
facilities. He enquired about the problems with the head mistress and
parents and promised to provide new building and initiate remedial
measures. Several BJP leaders accompanied him. Some of the parents
expressed their anger at the poor facilities in the school and said, they
would send their children to school only after all the problems are sorted
out.
