Though the condition of most of the admitted students was stated to be "stable", one child, Poornima Nishad, was reported to be in a serious condition. According to locals 145 children who had consumed the food were taken to the hospital for check up and 35 of them, who complained of uneasiness and nausea were admitted. The school, about 45 km from here has strength of 350 students.
According to a local resident the midday meal was served at about 12 PM and a child reportedly noticed "a part" of a dead lizard in the 'dal' given to him. The child reportedly informed the teacher, who instead of taking the complaint seriously, allegedly slapped the child and asked him to go back and finish his lunch.
Within a few minutes of this incident, a couple of children, who had already consumed their lunch, started vomiting. A littler later other children also started complaining, leading to panic in the school. Being a village school, the news about the incident reportedly spread like wildfire and villagers arrived there and local doctors were also summoned.
With the school authorities willing to take no chances, all the students were taken to the Bematra district hospital, where total chaos followed. According to a local newsman, the doctors and the nursing staff present at the hospital was totally inadequate to handle the rush of the ill students and the presence of a large number of worried parents only added to the confusion. Till 2 PM there was a total chaos and things only settled after that.
Some villagers alleged that the food was served to the children without being tasted by any of the staff members. This was confirmed by Hemant Upadhyaya, District Education Officer, Bemetara, who said that the school's headmaster, Moti Lal Devangan, had been suspended for disregarding the government's explicit directions of tasting the food before serving it to the children. Devangan had reportedly signed in but had left the school before the meals were served.
Upadhyaya said show cause notices have been also issued to three teachers, Anil Kunjam, Nagendra Patel and Pushpa Sahu, for being absent from the school without informing the authorities.
Collector, Bemetara, B Raju, told TOI that the situation was very much under control and samples of the midday meal had been sent to the laboratory for testing. Director Health Service, Dr Kamalpreet Singh said 22 children were still in hospital and all of them were "out of danger". He said their condition was being monitored closely.
