Mass Illness Hits 75 Girls After Lizard Detected in Meal

Seventy‑five girls from Supaul’s girls’ hostel were taken to the Pratapganj Community Health Centre after a lizard was reportedly found in their vegetable dish. The incident, which occurred on Friday night, led to a wave of anxiety as several students experienced nausea, abdominal discomfort and dizziness. Medical personnel at the centre administered anti‑emetics, rehydration fluids and closely observed the patients. While most were declared stable, a few, identified by their names, exhibited more pronounced symptoms and required further observation. Authorities have promised a thorough inquiry into how the reptile entered the meal and whether any lapse occurred in kitchen supervision.
