The principal, addressing the situation, stated, “In my four years of service, nothing like this has ever occurred. I personally oversee everything here. While the cause remains unknown, I am taking all necessary steps to safeguard the children. We are thoroughly washing all utensils, cleaning the kitchen, and testing the water. Meanwhile, I have arranged for mineral water for the children until we receive the test results.”
He added, “I will also ensure that students avoid foods like chowmein or samosas and instead provide them with fruits and milk.”
Parents and the local community have expressed serious concerns regarding the children’s health and safety, calling for a thorough investigation to prevent such incidents in the future.
