Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh — A wave of anxiety swept through a government school in Bareilly on Friday when several students complained of severe throat discomfort, triggering an emergency response. Authorities acted swiftly, with both educational and medical teams rushing to the scene to investigate the cause of the alarming symptoms.
Despite the immediate concerns, Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Ajay Kumar Upadhyay reassured the public that the health of the students had not been compromised. “There is no medical basis for the complaints reported by the students,” Upadhyay stated, allaying fears of a widespread health crisis.
Doctors who attended to the students suggested that the outbreak of throat discomfort might have been driven by collective anxiety, possibly sparked by rumors circulating within the school. Dr. Amit Kumar, who treated two students for nervousness, confirmed that no medical symptoms were detected, reinforcing the idea that the issue was psychological rather than physical in nature.
Educational authorities are continuing their investigation into the cause of the panic. Sources within the school suggest that the rumors may have spread quickly among students, amplifying the sense of unease. As of now, no further incidents have been reported, and the students who experienced discomfort have recovered.
The local health department has urged parents to remain calm and assured the public that the situation has been resolved. “This appears to be an isolated incident, and there is no ongoing health threat,” said a health official.
In the wake of this incident, school authorities have vowed to enhance awareness about health-related anxieties and stress among students, emphasizing the importance of clear communication to prevent such episodes in the future.
