The Telangana High Court will hear the pleas over the recent instances of food poisoning in government hostels resulting in hospitalisation of nearly 200 girls in different parts of the State on September 18.
Advocate Chikkudu Prabhakar, appearing before a Bench of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice N.V. Shravan Kumar, mentioned that several students residing in hostels maintained by the government fell ill due to food poisoning.
“Some of them are admitted to the intensive care unit for treatment,” Mr. Prabhakar told the Bench. The lawyer said the students falling sick in Morthad in Nizamabad district, Devaruppala of Janagaon district and Amrabad of Nagarkurnool district spoke volumes of the negligent attitude of the government.
