At the Government Middle School in Lachchhanpur village of Chhattisgarh’s Balodabazar district on July 29 (Tuesday), a stray dog contaminated cooked vegetables intended for the students’ mid-day meal. Despite some students alerting teachers about the contamination, the self-help group (SHG) responsible for preparing the food insisted it was safe and served it anyway. Approximately 84 students reportedly consumed the meal before the issue came to light.
