Twelve members of the same family, including women and children, reportedly fell unconscious after taking tea prepared with allegedly contaminated milk in the Old Tank Chowk area of Larkana.
According to details, the health of all 12 individuals suddenly deteriorated shortly after they consumed the tea. The affected people were immediately shifted to the emergency department of Chandka Medical College Hospital, where they are receiving medical treatment.
Milk Purchased from Local Shop
Munir Laghari, the head of the family, told the media that guests were visiting his home and tea was prepared for them using milk purchased from a shop in the Old Tank Chowk area.
He said that shortly after drinking the tea, family members and visiting guests began feeling unwell. Their condition subsequently worsened, leaving all 12 individuals seriously ill and requiring immediate hospitalisation.
Relatives Demand Laboratory Testing
The relatives of the affected individuals have demanded that samples of the milk be sent to a laboratory to determine whether it was contaminated.
They have also called for a transparent investigation into the incident to establish the cause of the sudden illness and determine whether the milk purchased from the local shop was responsible.
The exact cause of the incident has not yet been established, and laboratory testing has been demanded to verify the suspected contamination.
