"Most of the kids were released with first aid, about 5 children continue to be under treatment,"said Balmukund Rai, in-charge of Jamua community health center where the children were taken.

Villagers levelled charges of negligence against the school principal in the preparation of mid-day meal. The principal however appeared clueless about how the lizard fell into the cooking pan and who should be responsible for it. "This is the first time that such a sad incident has taken place," principal of the school Mahavir Paswan said.
