"The affected students, from Class 6 to 8, suddenly fainted, causing alarm. They were quickly taken to the Community Health Centre (CHC) in Shivrampur for treatment," he said. Dr Phool Singh, physician at the CHC, attributed the fainting spells to the intense heat following the recent rains. "The students had been standing for an extended period during the prayer, which, combined with the harsh sunlight, led to the incident," he said. All the students recovered after receiving treatment and were discharged from the hospital, the doctor added.
