On to some shocking news from Mumbai on Holi. Festival revelry turned into a nightmare when over 170 people, mostly children, suffered "colour poisoning" and were hospitalized following an allergic reaction. This happened in the Dharavi area soon after residents had finished playing holi. Patients most children between 9 and 10 reportedly suffered dizziness after Holi celebrations and were rushed to the Lokmanya Tilak municipal general hospital at Sion.

The Chief Minister's office has set up a 6-member committee of inquiry.
