9 students hospitalised as dead rat found in midday meal at govt school in Delhi

Nine students at a government school in the national capital ended up in the hospital on Thursday, after they consumed a midday meal in which a dead rat was allegedly found.

The students from the Government Boys Senior Secondary School in Deoli area were immediately taken to the Madan Mohan Malviya Hospital, after they reported feeling nauseous and acute pain in their stomach and head post consuming the meal.

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who visited the children in the hospital, took to Twitter saying “A rat has been found in midday meal in a government school. Nine students were rushed to hospital. I have spoken to doctors and the children are fine.”
