Latur Food Poisoning: 50 Government College Students Discharged After Hospitalisation in Maharashtra's City

At least 50 female students of a government college in Maharashtra's Latur city, who were hospitalised for suspected food poisoning after having dinner at their hostel, were discharged on Sunday evening, a senior health official said.

The students, all inmates of the girls' hostel of the Puranmal Lahoti Government Polytechnic, had dinner at around 7 pm on Saturday, the official said.

The hostel accommodates 324 female students.

"The dinner included rice, chapattis, 'bhendi' curry and lentil soup. By 8.30 pm, several of them felt nauseous and some of the students started vomiting. The affected students were immediately taken to Vilasrao Deshmukh Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH)," he said.

"Nearly 50 students were admitted to the hospital for treatment by midnight. Treatment started immediately and they were administered saline. Twenty of them were discharged by 3 am and the rest by Sunday evening," GMCH Dean Dr Uday Mohite said.

The students, who were discharged from the hospital, are now stable, he added.

The polytechnic's principal V D Nitnawre said the Shivajinagar police were informed about the incident and they have collected food samples and other items as part of their probe.

"The contract for the college mess has been given to one Manisha Dobgave and police are inquiring with her in connection with this incident," he added.

The principal also said that photographs of lizards and insects in meals doing the rounds of social media, which are being linked to the incident at the polytechnic, are false.

"The reports related to the food samples will be available by Monday or Tuesday," said Resident Deputy Collector Keshav Netke.

Latur Lok Sabha MP Shivaji Kalge visited the hospital late Saturday night and asked Collector Varsha Thakur-Ghuge to ensure the affected girls are given relief and advanced treatment.
