Viral video: Meal denied to woman for not chanting 'Jai Shri Ram' outside Mumbai hospital
Mumbai: A viral video has surfaced showing a Muslim woman being denied food at a charity stall outside a Tata Hospital in Mumbai for not chanting "Jai Shri Ram." The incident, which occurred at a temporary stall set up by an NGO to distribute free meals to patients and their families, has sparked widespread outrage online.
In the video, the woman is seen arguing with an elderly man at the stall, who insists she must chant "Jai Shri Ram" or leave the queue. The incident took place on Jerbai Wadia Road. The person recording the video questions the situation, and the man reiterates that food will only be provided if the woman complies with the chant.
As the video gained traction, it garnered over 300,000 views and hundreds of comments. Users have expressed their dismay at the situation, with one commenter stating, "The person's behavior is shameful. We should question which NGO this is, as their actions are completely disgraceful. Is this what Hinduism stands for?"
Another user added, "If someone refuses to chant what you want, they should still be provided food. This is unacceptable." A third commenter highlighted the inhumanity of the situation, stating, "This is an insult; no community should behave this way while distributing food to those in need."
In a second part of the video, a bystander asks the elderly man if he had chanted "Jai Shri Ram" to receive his meal. An individual, possibly hospital staff, intervenes, calling the insistence on such rules "unfair and wrong."

Bihar: Over 150 children fall ill after consuming 'mid-day meal' in Saharsa
Saharsa (PTI): More than 150 children were taken ill after allegedly consuming food that was part of the mid-day meal in a school in Bihar’s Saharsa district, a senior official said on Thursday.
The incident occurred at a middle school in Baluaha village of the district.
The official said that 115 children were undergoing treatment at the Sadar Hospital, while around 50 students were admitted to Mahishi Public Health Centre.
“We received information that several children fell ill after consuming the mid-day meal in Baluaha. The children were initially treated at the primary health centre, but later, many were referred to the Sadar Hospital,” Saharsa District Magistrate Deepesh Kumar told reporters.
“According to doctors, the health condition of the children has improved, but they will be kept under observation for some time. There is no need to panic. Some kids are having mild fever. They are being treated accordingly,” Kumar said.
Meanwhile, family members of some children claimed that a snake was found in the container in which cooked pulses was stored at the school.
Of the 545 students present in the school, 200 had already eaten their meals by the time the snake was spotted, and later complained of stomach ache and vomiting, they said.
Regarding the claims, the DM said food samples have been collected from the school.
“We will be able to comment on this only after the results of the tested samples arrive,” he said.
