Thirty five children were taken ill after eating mid-day meals at their school in Bemetara district of Chhattisgarh on Saturday. The incident took place four days after 23 children lost their lives after eating ‘poisonous’ mid-day meals at their school in Chhapra, Bihar.
While no arrests have been yet made in the Bihar mid-day meal tragedy, the Chappra Administration on Saturday lodged an FIR against 30 named persons and 60 unknown persons for torching four police vehicles during protests. People had gone on a rampage on Wednesday during Chhapra bandh over the mid day meal tragedy.
