NEW DELHI - A state-run primary school in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh resorted to stirring spirits and marijuana into the school lunch to keep meals tasty, a report said.
The cook in the primary school in Chhattisgarh's Mahasamund district was caught out after parents complained last week to government officials. A magisterial inquiry confirmed the parents' misgivings. "It was found that liquor was added to (the water) to prepare rice and 'bhang' to dal (a spicy lentil dish) to make it tasty,". Bhang is derived from the male marijuana plant. The district administrator added that bhang was confiscated from the school kitchen. No arrests have been made as investigations are continuing.
