Nearly 100 Indian schoolchildren were hospitalised with suspected food poisoning Thursday after eating a free midday meal at a government-run school near Mumbai, officials said, adding that 13 were in a critical condition.
Most of the children at the rural primary school fell ill after the lunch of rice and pulses.
“Ninety-seven have been admitted to hospital, a few of them are critical,” Shrikrishna Kokate, deputy police chief of Palghar district in the western state of Maharashtra, told AFP.
Hospital officials said 247 students were initially brought for treatment late afternoon after they complained of nausea and started vomiting.
