The Story in Brief
At least 24 girl students at a Kolkata school were rushed to RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on Monday night after they fell ill, an official at the medical facility said. The students were admitted for observation and treatment, though their condition was not reported as critical.
The cause of the illness is yet to be determined. The incident adds to concerns over student safety in the city's schools. No further details were available from the school or hospital authorities at the time of reporting.
The Indian Opinion
Another day, another mass illness at a city school. Before the usual blame game, midway meals or water quality, we need a transparent probe. The authorities must disclose the suspected cause and ensure the same does not recur. The real test is whether the state health department will release a detailed report and not let this fade into a footnote.
