Hyderabad, Feb. 7 -- As many as 40 students fell ill due to food poisoning in Telangana's Mancherial district on Friday, February 6, after having "worm-infested rice" for dinner at the Bellampalli Government SC Girls Hostel.

Some students complained of dizziness after consuming the alleged contaminated rice at 7:30 pm. They also alleged that the hostel warden delayed shifting the students to the hospital as she was concerned about saving her job.

In a video shared on social media, one of the students said, "When we asked the warden to dial 108 for an ambulance, she said she was concerned about losing her job. She gave a tablet and asked a quack to administer an injection to the students without getting them consulted with a doctor."
