Approximately 30 children in Bhadri Dhana village of Baitul district became sick with vomiting after consuming a milk and banana breakfast distributed by a local organization.
Baitul district's Bhimpur block witnessed a sudden health incident on Monday when about thirty school‑age children from the village of Bhadri Dhana reported vomiting shortly after eating a milk‑and‑banana breakfast that had been handed out by a local charitable group.
Local health officials were alerted immediately and dispatched medical teams to the site. The affected children were taken to nearby primary health centres for observation and basic treatment, while parents were advised to monitor any further symptoms.
Preliminary checks ruled out any obvious contamination in the food items, and the investigation has been handed over to district health authorities to determine the exact cause of the outbreak. The organization that provided the breakfast has expressed concern and pledged cooperation with the inquiry.
The incident has prompted a temporary suspension of similar mass‑distribution meals in the block until safety clearances are confirmed, as authorities aim to prevent any recurrence.
