116 Labourers Hospitalized in Leh Due to Suspected Food Poisoning

Leh: A total of 116 patients, mostly non-local labourers including children and middle-aged individuals, were rushed to SNM Hospital’s emergency ward, after reportedly suffering from food poisoning during a film shoot in Leh.

The patients complained of severe abdominal pain, headache, and vomiting.

The Medical Superintendent of SNM Hospital said the sudden rush created a panic-like situation as attendants also crowded the emergency ward. With limited bed capacity, many patients had to be accommodated on floor bedding. Doctors from all departments responded swiftly and managed the situation effectively. Once stabilized, some patients were referred to Chuchot Primary Health Centre and Ladakh Heart Foundation, while others remain under observation. Many have already been discharged,” she stated.

Authorities are investigating the source of the food poisoning.
