Around 56 students of the women’s hostel of the Kerala University’s Kariavattom campus had to be taken to Medical College hospital after suspected food poisoning.
According to Medical College Hospital authorities, none of the students is in a serious condition.
The students developed uneasiness and some of them vomited after having dinner, reportedly rice and fish curry, served at the hostel mess.
The hostel was shifted to a new building two weeks ago and students allege that the mess was not being run in hygienic conditions. Most of the students were discharged from the hospital after being administered first aid.
