Over 100 tribal students in Maharashtra's Amravati district and 20 students in Telangana's Polavaram district were hospitalized after suspected food poisoning incidents at residential schools. In Maharashtra, students from three schools fell ill after meals supplied by a central kitchen, prompting a police complaint and ongoing investigations. In Telangana, students fell ill after being served the same dal for lunch and dinner, leading to the suspension of the school warden and a medical camp. All affected students are reported to be stable and recovering.
