Imphal, May 25 2009:
Two persons died while many others are suffering from an unknown disease at Lamtai Khunou, Laikoipung and other adjoining areas of Barak Circle in the past few days.
Informing that the symptom of the disease are fever and loose motion, a press release of Lamtai Khunou Youth Club said that the disease is spreading fast to other
villagers.
In view of the bad road connectivity, the club drew attention of the State Government to take up necessary action to control the unknown disease at
the earliest.
The club also warned that the Government must be responsible if the disease takes more lives due to negligence of the concerned authority.
The club urged upon the Government to send required medical staff and medicines to Borobekra PHC.
The club also urged various civil society organisations to extend support in tackling with the disease.
Meanwhile, sources from State Health Department said that the Department has yet not received information regarding the outbreak.
