At least 10 persons have died of a mysterious disease within a span
of 8 days near Bondamunda, about 10 km from here, triggering panic
among local people.
15 other patients from the area who complained of mild fever, severe
headache and vomiting are being treated in several hospitals of the
district, doctors said, adding that efforts are on to identify the
disease.
The mystery disease had claimed 6 lives last week, while 4 people
died yesterday [1 Aug 2008] in the Tilikanagar slum area near here.
Assistant District Medical Officer R N Das told PTI that a team of
doctors was rushed to the affected area this morning [2 Aug 2008]
with medicines.
Residents of the slum area accused the Rourkela Municipality of
ignoring the locals.
