Around 195 girls become ill in a girls’ hostel in Gujarat after suspected food poisoning. Reports say symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea begin early Friday, following dinner the previous night. Authorities respond by shifting some of the affected students to hospital for treatment.
Across outlets, the illness is described as a mass food-and-water related incident under investigation. Times of India says that about 195 girls are affected and that roughly 20 girls are hospitalized, with officials stating they are stable and that all impacted students are out of danger. India Today similarly reports that around 200 students fall ill, citing the same general pattern of symptoms after dinner.
Both sources describe ongoing checks into the cause. Samples of food and water are taken for testing, but no definitive source of contamination is confirmed in the available reports. The key focus for authorities is determining what led to the outbreak and preventing any further cases within the hostel.
