Nashik, April 7

More than 60 persons suffered food poisoning at a religious programme in Maharashtra’s Nashik district on Friday and the condition of two of them was serious, a police official said.

These persons had “mahaprasad” at an ‘Akhand Harinam Saptah’ organised in Thangaon Barhe village in Surgana tehsil to mark Hanuman Jayanti, he said.

“They complained of vomiting, uneasiness and stomach pain and were rushed to the sub-district hospital in Barhe. The condition of two of them is serious and they have been shifted to district civil hospital in Nashik. Samples of the food have been sent for analysis,” he said.

The number of those affected may rise as it was a well-attended programme, the official added.

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).
