Twelve children fell ill after consuming iron tablets given to them as part of the ongoing statewide campaign by the government to combat anaemia among children.
The children who fell ill were from Government High School in Kasan village, official sources said today.
The children, including six girls, were brought to Indira Gandhi Multi Speciality Hospital here.
Sources said all the children were out of danger and recovering.
A doctor said the cause of illness could possibly be consumption of iron pills on empty stomach.
Earlier, over 1300 children from across the state had fallen ill during the past few days after consuming the pills, though health officials sought to allay fears, saying minor side-effect in some children was normal and there was nothing major to worry about.
