In Rajasthan, 17 people have died in the last month in a tribal village, which has made people very scared about a possible disease spreading. The deaths happened in a village called Ghata Gramme Panchayat, in Udaipur district.
Most of the people who died were children. Villagers are believing that the deaths might be caused by a "mysterious disease," but the authorities are still investigating and trying to find out the exact reason behind this serious cause.
Out of the 17 people who died, 16 people had received treatment from doctors who were not properly qualified and well practitioners. The village leader, Sarpanch Nikaram Garasiya, has informed the district authorities about the serious situation and asked for quick and strict action. Villagers said that they cannot get quick treatment for this disease, which has made the sick people and their families very scared.
Medical camps established to address the crisis
After hearing about the problem, the district authorities quickly set up medical camps in four villages in Ghata Gramme Panchayat. Deputy Chief Medical and Health Officer, Deepak Jain, said that a medical team from Kotra has come to help. The team is going door-to-door to treat sick people, and so far, more than 400 people have been given medical care.
Jain mentioned that the deaths might be connected to seasonal diseases, but they are still investigating to find out the exact cause. Local health officials, including Kotra Block's Chief Medical Officer, Shankarlal Chauhan, are in charge of the treatment and helping the people in the area.
Unqualified practitioners left as investigation continues
After the recent deaths, the unqualified doctors in the area have left, and many local clinics have closed. This has caused fear among the villagers, who are asking the authorities to solve the problem quickly. The health department is working hard to stop the spread of the disease and provide proper treatment to the people.
The outbreak has posed a serious challenge to local officials and authorities, particularly since seasonal diseases are common in Rajasthan, especially in the districts of Jaipur and Udaipur.
