60 students hospitalised after food poisoning
In Hyderabad, India, 60 students from two different schools got sick after eating their meals.
At the Government Primary School, 44 students felt sick after eating rice, dal, kesari, and a special sweet called bonda.
They were taken to the hospital, and most are now feeling better.
The food tests showed nothing wrong, but the bonda might have caused the problem.
In another school, 16 students also got sick after dinner.
They were taken to the hospital with stomach pain and vomiting.
The schools are checking to see what made the students sick.
A political leader, Harish Rao, visited the hospital and criticized the Chief Minister for not paying attention to the students' health and instead focusing on self-promotion and a football game with Messi.
