Baby snake found in mid-day meal in government school in Faridabad

Students of Rajkeeya Girls Senior Secondary School, Faridabad, were in for a rude shock as the food, which the students complained often smelled ‘stale’, had a reptile in it. When the fact came to light, the meal was stopped immediately by the school authorities.

However, some students and faculty members had already consumed the meal by then and had thrown up right after. Two teachers and six students, who felt nauseous, were rushed to a hospital but were discharged later.

Deputy Commissioner Sameer Pal Srow initiated a five-member committee to conduct an examination of the kitchen and submit a report by the evening of the same day. The committee was to be headed by the Faridabad Tehsildar. A separate committee will be investigating the incident, which will be led by the Additional Deputy Commissioner, a news report in The Hindu has said.
