A six-month-old baby and a two-year-old toddler from a state-run Uttar Pradesh orphanage died while more than 10 were hospitalized on Thursday after apparently eating contaminated food.
“Twelve kids took ill due to food poisoning out of which two have lost their lives. The children who died were between six months to two years old,” Mathura District Magistrate Sarvagya Ram Mishra said. He has sought a report within 24 hours.
At least four of the children’s condition is said to be serious and they have been referred to Agra.
