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.
