Ten students from the government elementary school in Kannakkanpatti were admitted to hospital on Tuesday after they complained of stomach pain shortly after eating their midday meal.
The school, which runs classes from Standards 1 to 5, had served sambar rice and boiled eggs for lunch. According to officials, the headmistress alerted authorities around 3.45 p.m. when several children began reporting abdominal discomfort.
As a precaution, all ten affected students were taken to the Pudukottai Government Medical College Hospital. Doctors said the children informed them that the stomach pain began soon after consuming the meal, prompting suspicion of possible food contamination or food poisoning.
Hospital officials confirmed that all ten children were under treatment and that their condition was stable. Authorities are expected to review the midday meal served at the school as part of routine follow-up procedures.
