According to a reputed news agency, on Saturday, a woman from Badhal village was admitted to the Government Medical College (GMC) after showing symptoms of a mysterious illness. Officials are on high alert, with the Rajouri district administration, health department and police working in coordination to investigate the deaths and provide support to the affected families. The outbreak has mainly affected three interrelated families in the village. The lack of concrete information about the cause of the disease has hampered efforts to implement targeted measures, forcing local authorities to intensify their investigations and preventive actions in a race against time to avoid further casualties . The medical team present there is also observing the chaotic situation of the 'mysterious disease'.
An official said, “We are monitoring the situation closely. Reports of illnesses and deaths due to the mysterious disease will be available within 8-10 days. Medical assistance has been provided in 4 wards, and door-to-door counseling and monitoring is ongoing. ICMR has collected samples, and we are taking samples daily. Doctors are available 24/7, and monitoring of the village is ongoing since December 7.”
Another member of the team said, “From the pediatric point of view, all necessary tests have been done. The symptoms and progression of the disease have been observed. The condition of sick children deteriorates rapidly within 2–3 days, leading to coma and eventually death despite ventilation. Notably, these incidences are restricted to three specific families, suggesting a non-infectious cause. Therefore, there is no need for the general public to worry.” The situation is constantly evolving, with all relevant departments committed to identifying the origins of the disease and ensuring the safety of the local population.
