Nearly 100 people, comprising children, women and the elderly, fell ill after consuming contaminated pani puri and tikki sold by a street vendor in two villages of Siddharthnagar district in Uttar Pradesh. The affected individuals experienced symptoms like vomiting and diarrhoea within hours of eating the street food. Panic ensued among residents upon learning of the incident.
Victims were rushed to Madhav Prasad Tripathi Medical College, where they received treatment and are currently under observation. Preliminary reports indicate the street vendor visited the villages on Friday evening, selling the food to multiple families. Symptoms began appearing soon after ingestion. Siddharthnagar Chief Medical Officer Sanjay Dohre visited the affected villages after receiving information about the outbreak.
Health department teams have been deployed to identify and treat affected residents. The exact cause of the food poisoning remains under investigation, with theories pointing to leftover ingredients from the previous night's meal. So far, no deaths have been reported.
