A suspected case of food poisoning has been reported in Indore’s Bhagirathpura locality, where over 30 guests at a birthday party developed vomiting and stomach-related complaints. The incident has once

\n\n

again drawn attention to the locality, which was recently in the news over a separate water-related tragedy.

The guests allegedly fell ill after consuming local delicacies served at the gathering. Health officials say most patients are stable, while food and water samples have been sent for testing to determine the exact cause of the outbreak.

\n\n

Menu Served At The Party

Dal-bafla and laddoo were served during a birthday party hosted by Akash Mukshiya, a resident of Bhagirathpura, who had invited neighbours and relatives. According to a report by The Times of India, the celebration took place on Saturday at his residence in Shukla Gali to mark his son’s birthday.

\n\n

Approximately 40 relatives and acquaintances attended the gathering, where the traditional menu featured dal-bafle, a popular local delicacy.

Symptoms Reported The Following Day

The matter came to light the next day when several attendees complained of vomiting and diarrhoea. Mukshiya stated that more than 30 guests, including his wife, brother and sister-in-law, fell ill. “We prepared the food at home and used water from a private borewell for cooking. Doctors told us it was a clear case of food poisoning,” Mukshiya said.

Fortunately, none of the cases were critical. While many sought treatment at local private clinics, no immediate hospitalisations were initially required.

\n\n

Medical Response And Hospital Admissions

Chief Medical and Health Officer Dr Madhav Hasani said that three individuals visited a local government dispensary with complaints of abdominal pain, and one of them was referred to Maharaja Yeshwantrao Hospital (MYH). He further stated that three people directly approached MYH with symptoms of vomiting and stomach pain, adding that their condition was normal.

Dr Arvind Ghanghoria also suspected food poisoning. The hospital later confirmed that 10 people were admitted for treatment. All patients are reported to be stable and recovering well. Some are expected to be discharged on February 25, while others may leave on February 26. Doctors have indicated that treatment is progressing smoothly and there is no serious cause for concern.

\n\n

Investigation Underway

A team from the food department visited the location on Sunday and collected samples of the ingredients used in the preparation of the meal. However, no dal-bafle was left for testing. “Dal-bafle was not left, so we could not collect its samples,” food safety officer Manish Swami said.

Officials primarily suspect that the dal may have been stale or contaminated for some reason, potentially leading to food poisoning.

In addition, the municipal corporation has sent water samples for testing. The precise cause of the illness remains unknown and will only be confirmed after laboratory investigation results are available.

\n\n

Patients Recovering

Health officials have confirmed that all affected individuals are recovering steadily. With no critical cases reported and treatment ongoing, authorities have reassured the public that the situation is under control.
