Another 75 students of Khanewal educational institutions were hospitalised who were suffering from food poisoning. Police have registered a case but no arrest was made.
District Health Officer Khanewal Dr. Yousaf Sumra said," I found substandard, unhygienic and expired food in the bakery and threw these item away sometime back," While Assistant Food Controller Muhammad Asghar Sahu had imposed fine of Rs 30,000 (against the responsible) for selling substandard confectionery.
In spite of these facts, these bakers were still the main purveyors of food to educational institutions and government departments because it was owned by 'influential people'. DCO Khanewal Qazi Ashfaq Qureshi said, "I have ordered an inquiry into the supply of unhygienic and poisonous food by a local baker and appointed Mehr Ashfaq Siyal, District Monitoring officer as the inquiry officer."
Police also have registered a case against the purveyor on the complaint of Head Master Rana Ashraf Khan who stated that we got prepared boxes of fast food from a local baker for the farewell party of 10th class which was attended by 450 students and teachers. After taking this food, all became unconscious and they were removed to the hospital where such a number of beds were not available, he said. Then they were laid on the floor. Thousands of people including parents of students thronged to hospital after hearing the news of this incident and panic spread in the area.
It may be recalled that at least 450 students of 9th and 10th class and teachers of Islamia High School, Khanewal were admitted to the DHQ hospital when they fell unconscious after taking the unhygienic confectionery, where their condition is stated to be out of danger.
