Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Around 80 students from a district council school in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district were hospitalized after consuming biscuits provided as part of a nutritional meal program, media reports said.

The children began experiencing nausea and vomiting after eating the biscuits around 8:30 a.m. on Saturday at the school in Keket Jalgaon village, according to a local official.

On becoming aware of the situation, the village head and other authorities arrived at the school and arranged for transportation to a hospital.

The students were taken to a rural hospital, where their condition was reported to be stable.

Dr. Babasaheb Ghughe, a medical officer at the hospital, said, "On Saturday morning, around 8:30 a.m., 257 students showed symptoms of food poisoning after consuming biscuits. Of these, 153 were brought to the hospital, where some were treated and sent home."
