Food poisoning strikes tribal community after temple puja
In Dabbadi village, 42 people from the Konda Kammara and Konda Reddy tribes—15 of them kids—landed in the hospital after eating food prepared for a temple puja.
The meal, cooked locally before being served at the tribal deity's temple, is suspected to have caused food poisoning.
TL;DR
A medical camp has been set up in the village
Symptoms like vomiting started soon after the meal, so everyone was rushed to the Community Health Centre.
Seven people have already been discharged, while 35 are still under care but stable, according to Dr. J Narasimha Naik.
To make sure everyone recovers safely and no one else gets sick, a medical camp has been set up in the village for close monitoring.
