More than one hundred students became ill after eating school feeding tiffin at Makrampur Government Primary School in Gomastapur upazila of Chapainawabganj on Sunday afternoon. The tiffin distributed under the school feeding program contained eggs. Shortly after eating, many students developed itching and other symptoms, prompting concern among teachers and parents.
Doctors from the Gomastapur Upazila Health Complex provided immediate treatment to the affected students. According to physician Shahidul Islam, most of the children showed signs of allergic skin reactions and were stabilized after receiving prompt care. He suggested that the illness was likely caused by a food-related allergy.
Upazila Primary Education Officer Isahak stated that medical assistance was arranged immediately after the incident and that stricter monitoring will be enforced to ensure food safety in future school feeding distributions.
