barmer-13-students-fall-ill-drinking-school-water-hospitalised

After drinking water from the school taps, at least thirteen students of a government school got sick and were hospitalised in Rajasthan on Saturday in the state’s Barmer district, the Police informed.

 

The incident occurred at the Government Senior Secondary School in Meghwalon ki Basti, Sanawada, where students had gathered for an activity. During the recess, several students drank water from the school tank and soon began complaining of itching and red rashes.

 

The students were first taken to a local hospital in Sanawada and later referred to the district hospital at Barmer Medical College, as their condition did not improve.

 

Additional District Collector Rajendra Singh said the children were brought with allergy-like symptoms and are under medical supervision.

 

"A team of doctors is monitoring their condition. All the children are currently out of danger, and the exact cause of the illness is being investigated," he said.
