Moreh, September 23 2015 :
11 Church members of Evangelical Churches Association (ECA), Moreh including the Pastor and Church committee secretary reportedly fell sick after consuming 'poisoned' chicken during a social work at the Church yesterday.
According to a statement issued by the KSO, Moreh, most of the victims were rushed to Moreh hospital for treatment as their conditions were serious.
Social organisations' leaders, other Church members and KSO leaders have started investigation into the matter.
Although none of the inside part of the chicken was added, the meat tasted bitter, according to a survivor.
The chicken was bought from a chicken store at Moreh bazar, the KSO said.
Asserting that the chicken was poisoned, and fearing the existence of more such chickens for sale at Moreh, the KSO urged the department concerned to conduct test on the chickens at the earliest.
The KSO further urged all chicken vendors to stop selling chickens until the department concerned conducts test/investigation.
Failing to comply with the warning will prompt the KSO to take up severe action, it added.
