A total of 54 students of a government middle school in Bihar's Sitamarhi district fell ill today after eating mid-day meal in which a snake was found.
A local named Vimal Saha said, "There was a dead snake found; We must first check the food materials before preparing the food. How come they didn't come to know about the dead snake while preparing the food.I think we should scrap off the mid- day meal scheme from schools."

A Government hospital doctor attending the affected children said," They (students) were vomiting; There are no symptoms of poison as of now."
A year ago 23 children of a primary school in Bihar's Saran district had died after eating a mid-day meal laced with pesticides.
