In the small village of Dandasenaguda in Jhadabandhaguda panchayat, located in the Nabarangpur district, a tragic event has occurred. Health officials have confirmed that within just three days, three individuals have passed away due to severe diarrhoea and vomiting. The deceased have been identified as Janaki Amanatya, Narasingh Naik, and Tulsa Amanatya, an elderly woman visiting from Jagannathpur village. It is a heartbreaking situation for the entire community.
Janaki, the daughter of Dambaru Amanatya, had been receiving treatment at the hospital but unfortunately, she left before completing her treatment and returned to the village. Sadly, she passed away on Friday. Similarly, Narasingh Naik lost his battle with the illness on Sunday, and Tulsa Amanatya passed away on Monday morning while visiting her relatives. The news has left the village in a state of shock and grief.
As soon as the health officials were informed of the situation, a medical team from the district Health department was dispatched to the village. They immediately began examining the affected individuals and urged the villagers to consume hot and properly cooked food, as well as boiled water. The team also took water samples from the village and collected rectal swab samples from the affected persons for further medical examination.
However, the locals were hesitant to cooperate with the medical team as they believed their illness was caused by witchcraft or sorcery. They were convinced that they would be cured if a sorcerer performed some rituals on them. Dr. Naba Kishore Behera, the ADMO, stated that the exact reason for the spread of the disease could only be determined after the reports were available. The medical team will remain in the village until all affected individuals have fully recovered.
It is a difficult and challenging situation for the villagers, and the loss of three lives is truly devastating. The entire community is coming together to support each other during this trying time. We can only hope that with the help of the medical team and proper precautions, the disease will be contained, and there will be no more casualties. Let us all keep the people of Dandasenaguda in our thoughts and prayers.
