In Khanpur, approximately 20-25 students from a government intermediate college in Kanouna village were hospitalized on Monday after falling ill. Initial reports suggest the illnesses were caused by an insecticide spray conducted over the weekend.
The affected students, including both boys and girls, reported symptoms such as vomiting and facial irritation upon arriving at school. Some were fasting, which may have exacerbated their reactions.
Police responded swiftly, and the students were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment. Authorities confirmed the students are now stable, and further investigations are focusing on the residual chemical effects from the sprayed insecticide.
