50 kids fall sick
At least 50 students fell sick allegedly after having tiffin served at a girls' school in the district yesterday morning.
The students of Natore Government Girls High School complained of severe stomach pain after eating cakes given by the school authorities at 10:30am, said teachers and guardians.
Among the sick students, 27 were rushed to Natore Sadar Hospital while the rest to different local clinics.
The school authorities supplied low quality foods for the students, said Ali Akmak Bappi, president of guardian committee at the school, adding that students got ant and fly in their tiffin at previous times.
Bappi also demanded probe committee to investigate the incident.
Contacted, Gopal Chandra Sarkar, headmaster of the school, said the authorities have been providing the students with tiffin for the last few years.
“A local bakery has been supplying the foods. But no such incident took place before. We will look into the matter,” he said.
