It is a sad tale of over 20 children losing their lives and another two dozen or so falling sick after eating their free lunch at a primary school in Bihar. While the government mid-day meal scheme in schools is such an essential component to meet the nutrition needs of thousands of children across the country, this is clearly a case of downright negligence on part of the local administration that needs strict action. The photograph captures the despair that arises out of such an incident even as the camera holds its lens on a meal being served to a bunch of school children in Bodh Gaya.
Patna Medical College Hospital superintendent Amarkant Jha Amar on Thursday said post-mortem reports on the 22 children who died after eating mid-day meal at Chapra in Saran district of Bihar show that insecticide was either in the food or cooking oil.
Dr. Amar said results of the chemical analysis of the ingredients seized from the school were still pending on Thursday.
Dr. Amar also said the 25 children and a cook still being treated in the hospital are unlikely to suffer from any serious after effects of eating the food.
Massive protest has been carried out by different groups at Chhapra, a district in Bihar where 23 children died after having poisonous mid-day meal in a government school. The principal and other teachers were absconding, informed police on Thursday, July 18. It was suspected that the principal along with opposition party leaders allegedly had hatched the conspiracy against the kids targeting the ruling state government.
PK Shahi, the Education Minister in Bihar, informed that all grocery items used in mid-day meals were brought from a shop which is owned by Arjun Rai, husband of the school principal. Questioning Rai's alleged role in the "conspiracy", the minister also claimed that Rai belongs to an opposition party. Shahi also said that autopsies of the children revealed that organo-Phosphorous had been injected into the meal. Raising serious questions regarding the alleged conspiracy, the minister asserted, "All the food items used to be brought from his grocery shop. It is a matter of an inquiry how poison was used."
