Over 70 students fell sick reportedly due to food poisoning at a hostel of AP Residential School for Girls at Bheemunipatnam here on Friday. The children, undergoing treatment at a Primary Health Centre (PHC), are said to be out of danger.
Around 460 students of classes are staying at the hostel. They had potato and chana dal for dinner on Thursday. On Friday morning, over 70 students were rushed to the hospital, when they complained of uneasiness and vomiting.
The use of poor quality chana dal has led to illness of students.
