Nine children, including girls, fell ill at Sindurpank village under the Sambalpur Sadar police station on Tuesday after they consumed Bundi (a sweetmeat).While playing in the village, the kids in the age group of 8-12 found a polythene packet of Bundi hanging from a tree and ate the same. As they started vomiting, parents rushed them to the district headquarters hospital. Condition of three children is critical, medical sources said. The villagers suspect that someone might have kept the pocket on the tree after performing some Puja.
