So far, a total of 93
people have been affected with jaundice in Balangir town and more cases are
still coming up from the Sudpada area, according to reports. “A door to
door survey has shown more cases in the Sudpada area. The incubation period of
the virus causing jaundice is two months. Hence, we should remain watchful as
more cases might emerge in these two months,” said Balangir CDMO Dr RN Tripathy.
However, he said the jaundice situation in the whole town area is under
control.
Besides, as many as six
cases of jaundice have been detected in village Raipali under the district’s
Deogaon block to where a medical team has already been sent, according to
sources.
Meanwhile, the PHD
authorities have started taking action against illegal water connections in the
town besides collecting water samples from different parts for test. The
district administration has also taken initiatives to clean choked drainage and
stop leakages in water pipes. The encroachment of drain areas is also being
evicted.
