Bihar School Horror: Detergent Served Instead Of Salt, Nearly 40 Students Fall Ill

A shocking mix-up at a government school in Bihar’s Nalanda put nearly 40 students at risk after detergent powder was allegedly served instead of salt in their midday meal. Students at Parasi Middle School complained of stomach pain and nausea and were rushed to hospital for treatment. A school teacher said the salt and washing powder containers were kept side-by-side, leading to the mistake. Doctors later confirmed that the students were safe and receiving treatment. Bihar Rural Development Minister Shravan Kumar visited the hospital and directed officials to ensure proper care while promising strict action. The incident has raised serious questions over food safety, supervision and negligence in schools.
