Around 37 students of the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) fell sick due to poisoning from food they had for their hostel dinner on Saturday. They were rushed to the hospital after they complained of uneasiness.
Sources maintained 35 girls including under-graduates and post-graduates had a meal comprising rice, puri, chola-bhatura and chicken at the junior girls’ hostel block number 1. The same diet was taken by two boys of hostel number 7.
They were admitted to the emergency ward. On Sunday morning, 12 of them were discharged while 25 were admitted. Director of the premiere medical college Dr Satyendra Kumar Choudhary said he would probe into the matter. A team of the Food Safety department reached the spot on Sunday to collect samples of the raw materials and food served to the students.
“Our team has already collected the food samples. After testing the samples in our laboratory, the report will be sent to the concerned authority of RIMS,” Food Safety director Praveen Chandra told The Pioneer.
