Hoshangabad: In yet another incident surrounding the government's flagship mid-day meal scheme, as many as sixteen children fell ill on Friday at a primary school here, after consuming the mid-day meal.
According to reports, the children started vomiting as soon as they reached home after having their lunch at the government primary school in Amrai village of the district's Kesla block.
The kids were then rushed to the Community Health Centre in Sukhtawa, where they are undergoing treatment. All the children are reportedly in a stable condition presently.
