    This can't be psychological now. But certainly SOLIDARITY is a possibility.

    There should be serious study made of the pattern of this allergies. If local doctors are not able to make headway in this matter, then it should be referred to the WHO for international inputs.

    Let's be serious - this is our children. We need to look at the common things among all schools since it is not based on a specific location. COULD THIS BE THE TEXT BOOKS? What if these were printed with low quality ink. May be the experts should look in to. One may then ask why now if the books were used for 11 months already? Authorities must check without giving cheap excuses...

    ICCStats Wednesday, 21 November 2012 04:32 AM

    Manju_W Tuesday, 20 November 2012 10:57 AM

    Doctors seems to be laughing, Wonder what seems to be the amusement??

    Mishra Wednesday, 21 November 2012 03:13 AM

    Need to check what is common in all these. It may be some materials used for books or dress. Those are two things which are provided by Govt. Or may be the chalk....

    kaputakukula Tuesday, 20 November 2012 12:42 PM

    This news spread of allergy among students looks like a 'ploy' to divert the attention of the public from something "I do not know for sure". The public shuld be suspecious that "something" might be brewing in the government kitchen that the govt. do not want the public to know.

    Bring on Fox Mulder..
