In Giridih district, Jharkhand, a tragic case of suspected food poisoning has led to the death of a six-year-old child and illness in over 60 individuals after consuming pani puri, locally known as gupchup. The incident began on a Sunday in Bajto panchayat, where 40-50 people reported symptoms of diarrhea. The following day, 20 more cases were reported from Palmo panchayat, leading to hospital admissions at Giridih Sadar Hospital. The child's father, Ram Kishor Prasad Verma, criticized the emergency response, stating that an ambulance took over two hours to arrive and that no medical staff attended to his son for one-and-a-half hours upon arrival at the hospital. He has expressed intentions to file complaints against both the vendor and the medical staff, citing administrative failures. Meanwhile, many affected individuals continue to receive treatment, with some requiring saline. Attempts to reach the Civil Surgeon for comments were unsuccessful.
