the Community Health Centre (CHC) at Deodar in Banaskantha for suspected food
poisoning, on Monday morning. All the five affected are siblings belonging to an agricultural
labourer family. The five had reportedly consumed some stale food on Sunday
night, following which Vina Thakur (8) and Niku Thakur (6) died this morning.
The three others are Manju (22), Rukhi (16) and Kali (15). Their condition is
said to be out of danger. K S Patel, the Chief District Health Officer (CDHO) of
Banaskantha, said: “On learning about the incident, a medical officer
(Epidemics) from the CHC was rushed to the house of the Thakur family, which
has 11 members— eight daughters, a two-month-old son and the parents.” Medical Officer (Epidemics) Dr A Garg said: “The five girls had
consumed the food kept overnight. There was no symptom of food poisoning in
the other family members. Something must have fallen into the food. The girls
had experienced uneasiness on the night itself and by morning they reported
diarrhoea and vomiting.” |
