Around 600 devotees —including women and children—fell ill after consuming prasad at a religious event in Maharashtra's Buldhana district. All affected people reportedly experienced food poisoning symptoms after consuming the prasad offered at the "Harinam Saptah" in Lonar municipality. They were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. However, due to a lack of available beds, many patients had to be treated outdoors, with saline bottles attached to ropes and hung from trees.
