Systemic Failure in Bihar Schools as 80 Children Fall Sick
1 min read
The education department in Bihar is under fire after another mid-day meal disaster left 80 children sick in Saharsa. The local MLA, IP Gupta, has lashed out at the authorities, describing the current state of the mid-day meal scheme as a ‘cruel joke’ on the lives of innocent students. According to Gupta, the government’s claims of providing fresh, hot, and nutritious meals through a cluster-based system are being proven false by these recurring health crises. Just a day prior, reports surfaced of a snake being found in the food at another school in the district, highlighting a complete breakdown of hygiene standards.
