At least 50 students staying at the university hostel on
the Karyavattom campus were rushed to the Government Medical College
Hospital on Tuesday night after some of them swooned and some others
complained of nausea and vomiting, due to alleged food poisoning. The
students developed uneasiness a few minutes after they ate dinner.
Medical
college authorities said the condition of none of the students was
serious and a majority of them recovered after they took medicines.
Kazhakuttom
police said around 120 students took dinner from the hostel mess and
around 50 students complained of uneasiness. Adequate arrangements had
been made to take all the 120 students to the hospital for check-up.
Food Safety Joint Commissioner Anil Kumar K. told
The Hindu
that he had directed the District Food Safety Officer to inspect the
food items served at the hostel to find whether the sudden illness was
caused by food poisoning.
