Smriti Sharma Vasudeva : Chandigarh, Thu Jul 05 2012, 02:07 hrs



274 more cases reported; total in last three days crosses 1,150

Even as diarrhoea continues to spread across the city spanning the peripheral colonies as well as urban areas alike, the UT Health Department?s nodal wing to tackle vector borne and water borne diseases refuses to acknowledge the reports of deaths. So far unconfirmed reports have put together the death toll due to diarrhoea at six, including Durgawati (47), Diwan Singh (55), Vijay Kamat(19) and Kashih (2). However, the Health Department is yet to ascertain if the cause of death is diarrhoea and is not owning these deaths.
