In just one month, 14 people, including 11 children died due to a mysterious disease in Rajouri. The government has deployed various health teams to collect samples to identify and address the potential health risks.
A 바카라mysterious disease바카라 has led to the death of 14 people within 30 days after two more deaths were reported on Tuesday in Jammu & Kashmir바카라s Rajouri region. Out of 14, the deceased include 11 children and 3 adults from three families in the remote Badhaal village of Koteranka Sub-division.
Among the latest victims is a six-year-old girl, Safina Kousar, who passed away at a hospital in Jammu, where several of her siblings had died over the past two days. Two of her other siblings are still fighting for their lives.
According to a PTI report, nine people belonging to two families died in the village last month. Initially, the deaths were attributed to suspected food poisoning. However, the situation turned grim when most of the villagers complained of similar symptoms, prompting government intervention and the rushing of experts from various prestigious health institutions in the country.
The Jammu and Kashmir government has mobilised various health teams to investigate the cause of the illness and prevent further deaths. Samples are being collected from food, water, and the affected individuals to determine the source of the outbreak.
Health officials have been stationed in the region, with a mobile medical unit and ambulance on standby to address any emerging medical needs. The Health Department, led by Jammu Health Director Dr Rakesh Mangotra and Rajouri바카라s Chief Medical Officer Dr Manohar Rana, is closely monitoring the operations.
A team from Pune바카라s National Institute of Virology, along with experts from PGI Chandigarh, AIIMS Delhi, and the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), have already visited the village to support local investigations.
Dr Ashutosh Gupta, the principal of Government Medical College Hospital in Jammu, suggested that the cause may be a viral infection but cautioned that more studies are needed for a conclusive diagnosis.
Rajouri Deputy Commissioner Abhishek Sharma is overseeing the response efforts, ensuring that health teams are deployed for aggressive contact tracing and sampling. 바카라We are working around the clock to investigate the situation and mitigate the spread,바카라 Sharma said.
The district administration has urged residents to cooperate with health teams, providing timely information for contact tracing and further investigation. A district control room has been set up to assist the public with any health-related concerns.
바카라We are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of our citizens, and we ask for the public's support during this challenging time,바카라 said an official from the district administration.
