Woman Dead, Momos, Hyderabad, 50 Sick

Hyderabad: A woman died, and about 50 others were taken ill after eating momos at a roadside food stall in Banjara Hills here.

Some of the victims filed a complaint with Banjara Hills Police on Monday. They said they ate momos from a stall on Friday.

Police registered a case and took up the investigation. Two persons selling momos were arrested.

Reshma Begum (31), her children and several other people of Singadakunta Basti ate momos on Friday. They developed vomits and motions on Saturday and approached different hospitals in Banjara Hills.

After Reshma Begum’s condition turned critical, she was shifted to Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), where she succumbed.

Officials suspect that in addition to momos, mayonnaise and chutney may have caused the food poisoning.

Meanwhile, about 36 students of Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya in Peddapalli district were taken ill due to suspected food poisoning.

The incident occurred at Mutharam mandal headquarters on Sunday night. The female students were suffering from cough and difficulty breathing.

All of them were admitted to the government hospital Peddapalli. According to the District Medical and Health Officer, K. Pramood Kumar, except for cough and difficulty breathing, the students’ health condition was stable.

DMHO denied the possibility of food poisoning, saying that students would have developed vomits and motions if they had consumed toxic food. However, except for cough, no student complained about vomiting and motions, he said.

Anxious parents, who rushed to the hospital, alleged that the school authorities made the students remove the grass on the premises. They said the school staff sprayed pesticides before they asked students to remove the grass, and exposure to pesticides may have resulted in their falling ill.
