Imphal, August 01:
With the outbreak of malaria in Kamjong sub-division and Phungyar sub-division, two persons belonging to different villages have died of the disease so far while 30/40 other persons are currently down with malaria, informed a release issued by Zingsho Katamnao Long (ZKL).
Reacting to the statement of Dr R Woleng of Ukhrul District Malaria office published on July 16 which claimed that the outbreak of malaria in the border areas of Kamjong and Kangpat had been put under control, the ZKL asserted that the statement was distortion of facts.
Saying that the outbreak of malaria is assuming an epidemic like situation, the ZKL sought immediate intervention of the Government so that no more people died of the disease.
