Mangalore, February 9: Over two dozens of students of St Joseph Higher Primary School at Kankanady fell ill soon after consuming the mid-day meals on Thursday afternoon.

The students complained of stomach-ache and vomiting after having lunch, supplied by 'Seva Meals' caterer from Jeppu. They were rushed to a nearby private hospital by the localites, when the school management allegedly turned an indifferent eye towards the ailing kids. The condition of four students was worse.

However, after the receiving treatment all the students were discharged by evening, confirmed the hospital and school sources.

According to Ayesha, a Class VII student, some of her classmates complained of stomach ache and vomited an hour after they had lunch. “We had rice and rasam around 12:30 pm my classmates began feeling sick around 1pm,” she said and added “I did not consume meals as it was smelling bad”

Ashraf, a flower vendor, who has a small shop next to the school, said that around 1:45 pm, he heard children crying from inside the school. “We came to know that the children were suffering from stomach pain, vomiting and dysentery. Even though I and my friends requested the school authorities to take them to hospital, they responded negatively saying doctors would come to school. Finally we ourselves shifted children to the hospital by auto rickshaw”, he said.

Sr. Lilies, Vice President of Bethany Education Society, which manages the aided School, said that only one container of rice had problem and children who consumed food from that particular container fell ill.

Meanwhile, Zilla Panchayath Chief Executive Officer KN Vijay Prakash said Seva Meals, the caterer from Jeppu supplying food to the school, had been given a warning following the incident.

The caterer had been supplying noon meals to 27 schools in and around Mangalore. Mr. Prakash said that the Education Department officials had been asked to collect and test the samples of food supplied to the 27 schools.

“If such incident recurs, the contract will be terminated” he added.

News Network

June 5,2020

Udupi, Jun 5: Senior BJP leader and Lok Sabha member Shobha Karandlje accused members of Tablighi Jamaat of spreading Coronavirus, particularly in slums, in Bengaluru.

Speaking to newsmen here Friday night, she said that the members had intentionally spread the virus in Siddique Layout and Padarayanapura. Members had hatched a conspiracy to destroy the country. She would raise the issue with the central government.

She said that New Delhi and Maharashtra were responsible for rising Covid-19 cases in the country. Highlighting the programmes, introduced by Modi-led NDA government for the past six years, she blamed Covid-19 for the collapse of the economy. But for Covid-19 Modi government at the Centre would have been a leader in the world,” she added.

She said 13,541 people, stranded in other States and foreign countries, had returned to Udupi. “We have sufficient beds in the district to tackle the situation. But if more people decide to travel to Udupi, arranging quarantine facilities would be a huge challenge,” she added.

Mangaluru, July 23: Lavanya Ballal, national co-coordinator for social media department of Indian National Congress, has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of destroying the nation by misleading the youth.

In an interview with a regional Kannada news paper, the Dakshina Kannada based activist, lamented that instead of using social media for the welfare of the nation, BJP leaders used it to spread lies for their political gains.

On one hand BJP fooled people through false promises and colourful dialogues, while on the other hand it misled crores of youth by spreading fake news, twisted facts and false information, she said.

Ms Ballal went on to accuse BJP of following the footsteps of the British. “BJP is following all the methods employed by the British invaders to divide the people of India and make them hate each other,” she said.

She said that Congress always used the social media for the benefit of the country. If the new generation realises this fact, the country will once again turn its direction towards development, she asserted.
