Insects were found in the midday meal served to children in a primary school in Sheetalpur area here following which a complaint has been lodged with the Basic Shiksha Adhikari.
The incident, which happened yesterday, was reported by the villagers, who made a complaint to Shokin Singh Yadav, the Shiksha Adhkari. The infected meal was later thrown out for the animals.
Yadav said that the villagers had come to him with the complaint, adding that an enquiry has been made into the matter and action would be taken against the guilty persons.
