CHENNAI: Three children died and 11 others were hospitalised at a Childcare centre in Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu, allegedly due to food poisoning.

The incident happened at the well-known daycare centre Vivekananda Sevalayam in Tiruppur. Three of the 11 kids who were brought to the Tiruppur government hospital have been transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU).
The children had 'rasam' and rice for dinner on Wednesday night, following which they began vomiting, hospital officials informed the media. They were taken by ambulance to a private hospital close to the daycare centre, where five of them had worsened by Thursday morning.

The children were shifted to the government hospital on Thursday where three of them died.

Tiruppur District Collector S. Vineeth told reporters that the Vivekananda Sevalaya is a recognised children's home, and the authorities are trying to find out the exact reason behind the tragic incident.

The childcare facility's kitchen has been sealed, and food safety officials are looking into the situation in great detail.
