    What is the police department doing? The Kundapur police should regularly Check the Ice cream and other food vendors regularly. They should have instant chemical analyzer or something like that equipment to check the food quality sold by the street vendors on a regular basis. The street vendors must carry proper Identity of their personal History/domicile. Hope the children will get well soon.
    There should be 0 tolerance on vendors who are carelessly providing food to children.

    It is unbelievable but true. But I feel for the children who were victims due to food poisoning after eating ice cream. I wish all the children will recover fully but in the mean time the idiot who is responsible for this mishap should be apprehended and punished to the maximum extent.

    Dev Pilar it need not be either expired milk or contaminated milk .One should take care specially when ice is being sold whether it is cold enough,specially in warm weather.God knows what hygienic condition he was selling.There is chance to get stomach ache when ice warm is.how his icewas placed in a non hygienic container.He was selling in a scooter?Sometimes when children had something else eaten and didnt digest ,later got whole thing lead to problem.Hope they will get well fast .
