Pune:
Eighty-eight girl students of the hostel run by Karvenagar-based Maharshi Karve Stree Shikshan Samstha (MKSSS) were on Friday evening admitted to Deenanath Mangeshkar and Mai Mangeshkar hospitals for food poisoning.
The students, aged between 10 and 20 years, complained of stomach ache and started vomiting in the hostel around 6.30 pm. Director of the hostel, Ravindra Deshpande, said the students were rushed to the hospitals immediately.
"The hospital has discharged eight students after treatment. The rest are still in the hospital. The conditions of all the admitted students are stable," Deshpande said.
The MKSSS hostel houses about 500 students pursing studies in different schools and colleges. Deshpande said the students had their lunch in the hostel. Sources in the hospital said the students had consumed poha for lunch.
