The children were referred to Sadar Hospital.

The condition of all the children is stable, an official said.

Dr Sudha Jha from the Sadar Hospital said, "They have complained that a chameleon was found in the mid-day meal. They had consumed the same food. All the children here are stable and symptom-free.
