Students fall ill after eating food in mess

Students fall ill after eating food in mess
Pune: Over 50 students at the MIT group of Institute’s Lonikalbhor campus, about 20km from here, took ill after eating at the common mess on Tuesday afternoon.
The affected students were taken to Vishwaraj hospital in Lonikalbhor and were discharged after treatment.
Mangesh Karad, who heads the MIT Lonikalbhor campus, told TOI, “The incident occurred at lunch, which is served at 1pm.
At 5.30pm, 50-60 students started complaining of stomach pain, out of which 2-3 students vomited.”
Karad said the students were immediately sent to Vishvaraj hospital. “The treating doctor suspects that the gulab jamun they had for dessert might have caused the problem,” he said the authorities will institute a committee to look into the matter.
An officer from the Lonikalbhor police station said, “We have not received any information or report relating to the food poisoning incident.”
