A total of 19 children, including 12 girls, from a government-aided primary school in Vellaripatti near Appanthirupathi here were rushed to Government Rajaji Hospital on Tuesday after they developed vomiting and nausea after consuming the midday meals at the school.
Police said a couple of students started vomiting first, following which other students also developed the symptoms. GRH doctors said the children had developed allergy due to possible problem in the food. Stating that the allergy was not serious, doctors expressed hope that the children will be discharged within a day.
Meanwhile, officials from the School education department and Integrated Child Development Services began enquiries into the incident.
