Chuda KGBV Food Poisoning Incident Sparks Parental Boycott of Hostel Admissions A severe food poisoning incident at the Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) in Chuda has led to widespread outrage among parents, prompting them to boycott hostel admissions for their daughters. Over 147 students fell ill after consuming contaminated food at the school, which is part of the government’s initiative to provide education to girl children in rural areas. The incident has raised serious concerns about the safety and hygiene standards at the institution, with parents demanding strict accountability from the authorities. The affected students reported symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and severe stomach cramps, leading to a medical emergency. Parents allege that the school’s negligence in maintaining proper food safety protocols resulted in the outbreak. They have accused the management of failing to address the issue promptly and have called for immediate action against the responsible officials. "We are not just concerned about our children’s health but also about the lack of responsibility shown by the authorities," said one parent, highlighting the growing frustration within the community. The police have launched an investigation into the incident, collecting samples of the food, water, and vomit from the affected students. These samples have been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in Rajkot for detailed analysis. Authorities stated that the final lab report will determine the exact cause of the poisoning and identify those responsible. "Once the report is available, legal action will be taken against the culprits," said an official, emphasizing the seriousness of the matter.#rajkot #chuda #kgbv #kasturba_gandhi_balika_vidyalaya #forensic_science_laboratory
