The event kicked off at 9am and ended around 11.30am.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>The students walked about 6km to reach Chitrangi market, where they allegedly waited for about an hour for the minister to show up. <!-- -->Thereafter, they walked a further 1.5km as part of the march.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>Some students said they had to skip breakfast to show up for the event, adding that there were inadequate arrangements for drinking water and snacks during their wait for the minister and the march.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>As the yatra progressed, several students complained of dizziness and weakness, with some even collapsing, according to local reports.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>The teachers, who accompanied them to the event, had to arrange auto-rickshaws to ferry the unwell students to the community health centre.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Officials said all 12 students were treated for dizziness, exhaustion and other related complaints before being discharged about an hour later.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>A girl, who had a previous medical condition, had to be given oxygen support, an official said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Amid allegations of arriving late, the minister told mediapersons that the students fell ill due to the intense heat and brisk walking during the march. Denying negligence in arrangements, she said water was provided for at several points on the yatra route.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Speaking to TOI, Singrauli collector Gaurav Benal said, \u201cThe DEO and SDM have been issued show-cause notices in the matter. Students studying in schools located far away should not have been brought for the event without proper arrangements. A few students complained of health issues and were taken to hospital where they received primary treatment before being discharged. They are all fine now. However, there\u2019s no truth to the claims linking the incident to the alleged delayed arrival of the chief guest (the minister).<!-- -->\u201d<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/bhopal\/mp-schoolkids-fall-ill-waiting-for-minister-at-tiranga-yatra\/articleshow\/133217148.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MP schoolkids fall ill \u2018waiting\u2019 for minister at \u2018Tiranga Yatra\u2019.
