Bengaluru School Reports Over 500 Students Falling Ill
Over 500 students and 21 staff members at Clarence High School in Bengaluru fell ill, prompting the school to suspend offline classes for two days. While some reports indicate H1N1 cases have been confirmed, health officials have denied an outbreak. The school management attributed the illness to street vendors selling junk food near the school, a claim linked to a "Safe Footpath" campaign aimed at removing vendors and restricting food sales within 50 meters of the school. Another report mentioned 40 schoolchildren in Kullu falling sick, with water contamination suspected.
