As many as 12 girls from the Social Welfare Department’s post-matric hostel in Ramdurg were admitted to hospitals after they fell ill on February 9.
The girls were taken to hospitals after they complained of vomiting, stomach ache and diarrhoea. Some were admitted to the taluk hospital and others to a private hospital. They are all recovering, officials said.
Deputy Director of social welfare has sought a report from the hostel authorities on the incident.
