‘Dog-Licked Food’ Served to Students in Chhattisgarh Govt School: High Court Demands Action Report

The Chhattisgarh High Court has strongly criticised a government school and a self-help group in Balodabazar after reports claimed that students were served food licked by a dog.

Taking suo motu cognizance, the court noted that 83 students had to be administered anti-rabies doses. 

The bench, led by Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha and Justice Bibhu Datta Guru, called it gross negligence and slammed the authorities for endangering lives. 

It directed the School Education Department to file an affidavit on the medical treatment given, actions taken against responsible parties and steps to prevent such incidents.  The matter is now listed for August 19.
