What happened on Eid in bangladesh 100 people in danger...?
More than 100 people, including children, fell seriously ill after eating contaminated street food at a fair organized on the occasion of Eid in Bangladesh. After this incident, concerns have increased about the decline in food safety standards in the country.
95 sick people were admitted to Abhaynagar sub-district of Jessore. At the same time, 10 were sent to Khulna Medical college Hospital in critical condition. According to local media reports, the street food vendor is absconding since the incident.
A patient told the leading daily 'Prothom Alo', "We all fell ill after returning home at night. We were admitted to the hospital on tuesday morning." Duty doctor Raghuram Chandra said that this condition was caused by bacteria in the food. Most of the patients experienced stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea and fever.
A member of a victim's family said, "My whole family went to the Eid fair on monday night and ate 'phuchka' from that shop. After coming home at night, everyone fell ill. I did not eat 'phuchka' and survived. I admitted everyone to the hospital the same night. Four of those who fell ill were in critical condition, so I admitted them to Khulna Medical college Hospital."
After the incident came to light, the police are searching for the phuchka seller. Abdul Alim, officer-in-charge of Abhay nagar police Station, said, "We have come to know about the incident. We are looking for the trader."
The incident has raised concerns about food safety standards in Bangladesh. Recently, local media reported that the increasing demand for substandard products in the country has become a matter of serious concern in Bangladesh.
Interim government intervention due to the absence of Mohammad Yunus has led to the growing practice of selling substandard products for extra profit.
According to a report in the country's leading newspaper, 'The Daily Star', several studies described Bangladesh's food safety situation as poor. Harmful chemicals have been detected in vegetables, fruits, fish, poultry, milk and other food items, which remains a matter of great concern.
