Dengue panic grips Talcher
BIBHUTI BARIK
Bhubaneswar, Aug. 8: Four suspected dengue deaths and reports of more than 100 affected by the disease has triggered a widespread panic among the people in the coal belt of Talcher. However, the district health officials have, so far, confirmed deaths of two persons named Narahari Pradhan and Bunesh Samant.

The disease claimed two more lives in Talcher yesterday. The victims are Sanjulata Sahu of Balanda village and Tikan Pradhan of Badajorada village. While Sanjulata died at her home, Tikan, who was suffering from dengue-like symptoms, passed away on his way to a hospital in Cuttack.

However, the authorities are yet to confirm these two cases as dengue deaths.

?We cannot confirm the two deaths as dengue-related as inquiry is still on,? said chief district medical officer, R.C. Behera, adding that steps were being taken to mitigate the spread of dengue in the susceptible areas. Fifteen fogging machines have also been sent to these areas.

Last month, dengue was reported from Kalamchuin village, which has a population of 8,000, and later spread to at least 10 other villages in the vicinity. However, the Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL) Central Hospital, which is treating patients suspected to be down with dengue fever, lacked a pathologist, doctors and other amenities essential for treatment.

Orissa Cancels Doctors' Leave as Dengue Spreads


Bhubaneswar, Aug 13 (IANS): Orissa Saturday cancelled the leave of doctors working in three state-run medical colleges after a spurt in dengue cases in 11 of the state's 30 districts.

The three medical college-cum-hospitals, which are also the main testing centres for the mosquito-borne disease, are in Cuttack, Berhampur and Burla towns.

"There was no report of any death Friday. However, 54 new positive cases have been reported," a senior state health official told IANS.

He said 82 samples were tested in Sri Ram Chandra Bhanja Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack, 26 km from here, Friday and 54 of them were found positive.

With the latest cases, the total number of people infected by the virus in the state in about a fortnight has increased to 132, he said.

The districts from where dengue cases have been reported so far are Angul, Bhadrak, Cuttack, Dhenkanal, Jajpur, Kendrapada, Khordha, Mayurbhanj, Nayagarh, Nuapada and Sundargarh.

The disease is, however, concentrated in Angul district, which reported the highest 106 positive cases, he said.
