Srinagar, Dec 12(NVI): In a tragic turn of events, three children from a family in Koteranka Badal village in the Rajouri district of Jammu today fell critically ill under mysterious circumstances.
The incident led to the heartbreaking death of a young girl and the hospitalization of her two brothers, who remain in serious condition.
This marks the second such incident in the village within a week, prompting concern among locals and authorities alike. The cause of the illness remains unknown, though health officials have launched an investigation into the matter, speculating that it could be related to either a viral outbreak or environmental factors such as contaminated water or food.
The family, devastated by the loss of their daughter, is reportedly seeking urgent medical care for the hospitalized boys, who are said to be receiving treatment at the Government Medical College (GMC) in Rajouri. Authorities have yet to confirm whether the two incidents are linked, but the timing of these cases has raised alarms among villagers.
Local health officials are working to identify the source of the mysterious illness. Experts from the district health department are said to be conducting tests on water sources, food supplies, and other potential environmental factors to rule out contamination. The community is anxiously awaiting answers, with many fearing the spread of this illness could have wider implications for the region.
This recent tragedy follows a similar case earlier this week, in which two children from a different family were hospitalized under suspicious circumstances, though fortunately, they survived.
The deaths and illnesses have sparked an outpouring of concern, with villagers calling for immediate intervention from health authorities to safeguard the population. Emergency teams are on standby, and additional medical resources are being mobilized to ensure the safety of other residents in the area.
As the investigation continues, the people of Koteranka, Badal are left grappling with this devastating situation, hoping for answers and praying for the recovery of the two hospitalized boys. (News Vibes of India)
