Nearly 200 people fell ill after taking part in a bhandara (mass feast) organized at a temple in Shivpuri district, Madhya Pradesh, according to an official from the health department on Monday. The affected persons hailed from villages under the Mamoni Kala gram panchayat, where the mass feast took place.
District Medical and Health Officer Sanjay Risheshwar reported that preliminary investigations indicated cases of food poisoning among the villagers. Food samples have been collected for analysis, and the definitive cause will be determined once the investigation report is received.
The health department has been monitoring the situation closely, deploying a team of six doctors to Mamoni Kala, Ladaipura, and Tarpan Ka Purba villages to provide assistance.
Vinod Mishra, the husband of the Mamoni Kala Gram Panchayat sarpanch, said that about 200 people fell ill following the feast. He said that over 60 people were admitted to a hospital, while others received initial treatment within the village.
