Dozens of children in Kullu district, Himachal Pradesh, fall ill after eating kheer at a school. Reports state that 38 children are affected, with at least one outlet describing the number as 39. School authorities and local officials start a probe to determine what caused the illness, and the affected children receive medical attention.
The incidents are reported as food-related, but details about symptoms, timing, and the suspected cause are not fully consistent across outlets. Both reports describe the same broad trigger—children consuming kheer at the school—and indicate that investigations are underway. Officials also look into food preparation and handling practices to identify whether contamination or errors in preparation contributed to the incident.
