Encephalitis adds to woes; 26 fall ill
Neelakshi Bordoloi, Guwahati (June 26): The treacherous floodwaters have brought not just despondency and unimaginable miseries, but a spate of Japanese Encephalitis as well.

The virus has been detected in Sivasagar, Dibrugarh, Kamrup, Darrang and Morigaon, making health officials scramble for preventive and controlling measures.

Talking to Seven Sisters Post, sub-divisional medical officer in-charge of vector-borne disease control Dr Kamal Khound said 14 cases of Japanese Encephalitis have already been detected in Kamrup district — the highest in the state so far. “All are adult cases, not covered under the immunisation drive carried out by the government to combat the virus last year. We are following all procedures to ensure that it does not spread,” he said.
