At least 50 to 60 students of Muladuli High School in Ishwardi upazila, Pabna, fell ill on Wednesday afternoon after a suspected toxic gas or chemical exposure in a classroom. The incident occurred during class hours in the girls’ section, prompting teachers to rush the affected students to Ishwardi Upazila Health Complex. Doctors confirmed that all students are now out of danger and receiving treatment.
According to school sources, the incident began when a sixth-grade student entered the classroom with a small container that later broke on the floor, releasing a strong odor. Soon after, many students experienced headaches, breathing difficulties, weakness, vomiting, and convulsions. Fire service officials suggested that a pungent or toxic gas might have caused the reaction, though investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause.
Local administration, health officials, and fire service teams are jointly investigating the incident. Lawmaker Professor Abu Taleb Mondal visited the hospital and instructed authorities to prioritize the students’ recovery and uncover the cause of the poisoning.
