At least 51 people, including 37 children, fell sick due to food poisoning following a wedding meal in Chhattisgarh’s Korba district, police said on Friday.

All of them were admitted to the Medical College Hospital in Korba and their condition was stable, said an official.

The wedding that caused the illness was held at Pahripara village under Urga police station limits on Thursday night, he said.

After a wedding meal, some of the guests complained of vomiting and loose motions.

Those hospitalised included 14 girls, 23 boys, 11 women and three men, said hospital superintendent Dr Gopal Kanwar, adding that everyone’s condition was normal.

The exact cause of food poisoning was yet to be ascertained and investigation was underway, the police official said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
