Some 33 girl students of the State-run Ashram high school for girls in Wardhannapet of Warangal district were hospitalised due to suspected food poisoning after they had dinner in the hostel on Monday night.
It is suspected that a lizard had fallen in the food served to the students at the hostel on Monday night.
The incident sparked outcry from the aggrieved parents and protests by various student unions over alleged apathy of the staff concerned for the “food poisoning.”
