A dead rat was found in a mid-day meal cooked and served to students of a government inter-college in western Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar district. The meal, meant for students between Class 6 and 8, had been prepared by a NGO called Jan Kalyan Sanstha Committee that is based in Hapur, a town about 90 kilometres away from Muzaffarnagar. At least nine children and a teacher fell ill after consuming the food.
