YAVATMAL: Kalamb is under the grip of cholera and gastroenteritis. Two persons have died while more than 50 hospitalized following complaints of stomach ache and diarrhoea. The cause of spread of the disease is consumption of impure water. Deceased duo - Radhelal Jaiswal (65) and Shantabai Bhoyar (70) - were being treated at a private clinic in Kalamb since last couple of days and later shifted to GMC Yavatmal where they breathed their last on Friday.
District health officer Dr Ganesh Rachkundawar however denied that the two persons died of gastro. "They died due to old age and alcoholism," he said, adding, "Over 50 patients were admitted to government rural hospital in Kalamb. A few of them were later referred to Government Medical College, Yavatmal.
