According to officials, the cold drinks were intended for distribution to devotees participating in the Gajanan Maharaj Palkhi procession from Shegaon. The suspected food poisoning incident came to light before the beverages could be distributed, potentially preventing a larger public health emergency.
Following the incident, a team from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reached the spot and seized the stock of cold drinks that was to be distributed during the pilgrimage.
Police and staff from the government hospital are currently at the site. Authorities have launched an investigation to determine where the cold drinks came from and who was responsible for arranging their distribution.
