Fifteen students of a primary school in Chapainawabganj Sadar upazila fell ill after eating food provided under the school feeding program. Ten of them were admitted to the 250-bed district hospital between Wednesday afternoon and 8 p.m., according to District Primary Education Officer Saiful Islam and hospital resident physician Mahbub Hasan.
Saiful Islam said the students of Salim Dolpara Government Primary School were served eggs and bread under the program. Shortly after eating, several students began to feel unwell. Initial treatment was given locally, but ten students were later hospitalized as their condition worsened. The food had been supplied by a local NGO, Gram Unnayan Karmo (GUK). Samples of the food have been collected and sent for laboratory testing.
Dr. Mahbub Hasan said the hospitalized students are now in stable condition. He suggested that low-quality or unhygienic food and excessive heat might have caused the illness. Attempts to contact GUK officials were unsuccessful. The NGO had previously been fined for similar incidents in other schools in the district.
