Over 70 individuals, including 30 children, fell ill after attending a community feast organized during a housewarming ceremony in Kharida village, Balasore, Odisha. Symptoms included diarrhea and vomiting, leading to hospitalizations and first aid treatments. Officials suspect contamination of food or water as the cause, with samples being tested in laboratories. This incident follows similar cases in other regions, such as a food poisoning event in Uttar Pradesh’s Amroha district in April, which affected over 100 people, and a previous incident in Odisha’s Sundargarh district in May, where four people died and 28 fell ill after a funeral feast.
