Mid-Day Meal Horror: Worms Found in 75 Bihar Schools

An alarming incident occurred in Bihar's Arwal district, where worms were found in the mid-day meals provided to students across 75 government schools. The discovery on Tuesday led to widespread distress among the children, who consequently refused to eat their meals and were seen discarding the contaminated food into dustbins.

Visual evidence, including videos, revealed the presence of worms in the soybean curry and rice served as part of the meal. The 'Royal Manav Mitra Seva Samiti' is the agency responsible for supplying these meals in the Arwal region.

In response to the public outcry and the serious nature of the complaints, the Bihar education department has initiated an immediate investigation. The district education officer has stated that strict action will be taken against the involved agency if any negligence is confirmed. The officer emphasized that the health and safety of the children are paramount and will not be compromised.
