Chikkamgaluru: Some students of the Aldur Ambedkar Residential School in Kalyana Nagar in Chikkamagaluru suddenly fell ill and were admitted to the district hospital on Saturday.

The children began vomiting after lunch. The staff immediately took them to the government hospital for treatment.

Deputy Director of the Social Welfare Department, Malathi, who visited the hospital, said, “Four children had fallen ill, but they have now recovered. The remaining students are unaffected.”

Dalit leader Marle Annayya said, “The illness was reportedly caused by consuming stale food and action should be taken against Principal Vinay and the kitchen staff responsible for the incident.”
