Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader and former minister T. Harish Rao has demanded that Telangana Government take steps to prevent recurrence of food poisoning incidents taking place in the Government hostels.
In a statement, Mr. Rao said on Saturday that even before the death of a hostel inmate at Bhongir, Prashanth, due to food poisoning is forgotten, 11 students of Narsapur Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) hostel in Nirmal district were hospitalised on Friday after consuming contaminated food (food poisoning).
The residential schools and hostels were run as model for the country till recently but the recent incidents reflected their neglect by the new Government. He requested the Government to extend better medical care to the students who were hospitalised.
