Twenty children were hospitalized today after they ate lunch at school in the state of Goa, days after 23 pupils died after eating food cooked in an eastern Indian school.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police said the incident was reported in a privately-run school in the village of Usgao, 29 miles from Panaji, capital of the western Indian state.<\/p>\n

Officials said the students were rushed to a state-run hospital after they ate what is known in India as ‘midday meals’ in school and fell ill.

\nThey were later released after receiving first aid, they said.<\/p>\n

Goa education department director Anil Powar said an inquiry was under way into the reported mass-poisoning in St. Joseph High School.<\/p>\n

“Food samples are collected and sent for analysis with the state food and drugs administration laboratory,” he said, adding that the results had not yet been given.<\/p>\n

Twenty-three children between four and 12 years of age died and scores more were taken ill on Tuesday after eating lunch served at their school in the eastern Bihar state.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grieving parents attacked the Bihar headteacher’s house on Friday in protest over the deaths and the response by officials to the tragedy.<\/p>\n
