The girls after inhaling the smoke that arose from a nearby building complained of vomiting and headache and were rushed to a government hospital, where they were treated and later discharged, an official of the institute said.

A sweeper used some chemical substance (reportedly acid) to clean the toilets in the building. The smoke emanated from the place and spread in the nearby area, the official said.
