Balasore, May 15: At least 20 pilgrims from Bengaluru travelling on a Puri-bound bus fell sick and were admitted to a hospital in Odisha’s Balasore district.
They were admitted to the Soro government hospital in the district.
According to reports, around 50 people started their 24-day journey to religious sites on a bus on April 26 and they were coming from Gaya to Puri when they stopped at Soro and had dinner on Wednesday night.
Around 20 of them started vomiting and experienced nausea and dysentery late at night and were taken to the nearby Soro hospital.
Doctors suspect that heat wave conditions might be the reason behind the pilgrims falling sick.
