Around 150 to 200 residents across northwest Delhi fell ill on September 23, 2025, after consuming food made from buckwheat flour, locally known as kuttu atta. The affected individuals, hailing from areas such as Jahangirpuri, Mahendra Park, Samaypur, Bhalswa Dairy, Lal Bagh, and Swaroop Nagar, reported symptoms including vomiting and uneasiness. All patients were treated at Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial (BJRM) Hospital and were stable; none required hospitalization. Authorities have initiated an investigation to determine whether the flour was contaminated or adulterated. The Delhi Police received distress calls starting at 6:10 AM and promptly alerted the Food Department. In response, officials are sensitizing local vendors and residents through beat staff and public address systems to prevent further incidents. The Food Department has been informed for further action. #news #Newsone #DelhiNews #FoodSafety #HealthAlert #AdulteratedFood #PublicHealth #BuckwheatContamination #FoodPoisoning #EmergencyUpdate
