Girls' Hostel Students in Chikkamagaluru fall ill suddenly
Chikkamagaluru: A sudden health scare affected 10 female students from a scheduled community residing in a girls' hostel in Jayanagar barangay, prompting their admission to the city's government hospital for treatment.
On Monday evening, around 8 pm, 10 out of the 70 female students residing in the scheduled caste girls' hostel experienced symptoms such as stomach ache, fatigue, fear, and panic. The hostel staff immediately notified the authorities, who promptly arranged for the girls' admission to the district hospital and children's hospital for medical attention.
While the exact cause of the illness remains unknown, initial reports suggest that it was not food-related, as the children had not eaten prior to falling ill. Additionally, if food poisoning were the cause, it is likely that all the children would have been affected.

Notices issued to Himachal conductor, driver for anti-Rahul Gandhi audio clip playing in govt bus
Shimla, Nov 30: After finding itself in soup over a CID enquiry on "missing samosas", the Himachal Pradesh government is again in a tight spot for issuing notices to a state roadways conductor and driver after an audio clip with defamatory remarks against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was allegedly played in their bus.
A man in his complaint to the Chief Minister's Office said defamatory words were used against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav and other leaders in an audio clip which was played in the Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) bus plying between Shimla and Sanjauli on November 5.
In a letter to the conductor and driver of the bus on November 25, the HRTC sought explanation from them. The letter went viral on the internet.
Talking to reporters on Friday, HRTC Managing Director Rohan Chand Thakur said a routine complaint was received from a customer after which a fact finding enquiry was initiated. The enquiry was closed as the allegations were found baseless.
However, the wording of the explanation sought could have been better and the officers have been verbally conveyed to improve in the coming times, he added.
The defamatory words were allegedly used in a debate being played in the audio clip.
Reacting sharply to the letter, BJP MLA from Dharamshala, Sudhir Sharma, said the government should appoint marshals to stop audios being played in buses.
"Such decisions of the government are damaging the reputation of the state government as well as the state," he added.
Earlier, the state CID department had ordered an internal enquiry on the samosas which were brought for Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu during a function and by mistake were served to the his security staff. A senior police official had termed the faux pas as an anti-CID and ant-Government act.
