The authorities later took the food samples from the same place to ascertain the cause. Hospital officials said that the situation was brought under control by immediately calling staff from all departments.

"We effectively controlled the rush of patients. Police also stepped in to control the crowded emergency ward and prevent chaos, '' said a local doctor.

The administration confirmed to WION that all the patients are stable and most of them were discharged after the treatment.
