Even as the district health authorities are yet to identify the mystery disease that spread about nine days ago, the disease continues to threaten lives in this nomad-dominated village. Two more persons lost their lives while several others fell critically ill over the last two days. One of the two boys who had been referred to Rohtak on Saturday, died yesterday. The deceased had been identified as 17-year-old Jugraj Singh. Mohinder Kumar, a resident of the affected village, lost his new-born child to the disease. Till this evening, 25 more persons were taken to the trauma care centre at the district headquarters. Residents of the village continued to throng the temporary dispensary set up here to get treatment. Sources in the Health Department said as the department was falling short of resources to deal with the situation, many referred to the trauma care centre were being discharged soon after given some medication. Though it was believed that the disease outbreak had been caused due to unhygienic conditions prevalent in the village, the district administration was yet to send sanitation teams to the village till late this evening. Senior officials of the district administration told The Tribune that they had written to the state government to allocate funds for undertaking cleanliness drive in the village. Meanwhile, some NGOs came forward and organised community kitchen (langar) in the village to provide food and clear drinking water to the affected people. Activists of these organisations also initiated a cleanliness drive in the village as an effort to prevent further spread of the disease. It was learnt that about 20 blood samples collected from the infected persons had been sent to different labs at New Delhi. Health officials said only after the reports came in, they would be able to ascertain whether the disease is chickenpox of some kind or other viral infection.
