Mid-day meal deaths: principal absconding, no arrests yet

The principal of the government school in Chhapra whose 23 children died in the midday meal tragedy suspected to have been caused by poisoned food was absconding, as it emerged that the free food served did not undergo any quality checks.




The death toll rose to 23 after it came to the knowledge of the district administration today that one child was buried by family members without keeping the authorities informed, Saran District Magistrate Abhijit Sinha said. 24 children and a woman cook Manju Devi were under treatment at the Patna Medical College and Hospital.

No arrests have been made, two days after the incident, as a mass grave outside the primary school at Dharmasati Gandavan village where the dead were buried bore mute testimony to the tragedy. "This school will not run... we will not allow it," said Rakeshwar Mahato who lost his grand-daughter in the tragedy.
