The Bihar administration seems to have learnt no lesson from the past. First insecticide, then dead lizard, frog and now a dead rat found in the mid-day meal at a government school in Bihar. 

According to media reports, dead rat was found in the mid-day meal served in a plate to a student of a primary school at Saidpur.      

A dead rat was among the things served up as part of the children's mid-day meal at a government school in the Bihar capital, police said on Friday.

Reports state, school authorities prevented children from eating the meal once the rodent was discovered dead in it. 
The children were told not to disclose the matter to others, but some children went home and promptly spilled the beans to parents. 

Meanwhile, the Patna district magistrate N. Sharvan Kumar said he was unaware of the incident. 

He told the media that he will inquire into it with concerned officials. 

In the past, Saran district of the state, 23 children died after eating contaminated food served as the school meal in July this year.
