13 children in West Bengal's Bankura district fell ill after consuming mushrooms cooked at an ICDS center. The mushrooms, collected from a local field, were likely infected, causing food poisoning symptoms. The children were treated at Raipur Rural Hospital and later transferred to Bankura Sammilani Medical College & Hospital. Parents accused the ICDS center of negligence for lacking a boundary wall and having an inadequate kitchen locking system.
