FOR INVESTIGATION AT #Badhaal village in #Rajouri District of #JammuAndKashmir, DAYS AFTER 17 members of three families died under mysterious circumstances. An initial investigation has revealed the presence of pesticide residues in a nearby “baoli” (water reservoir). It is suspected that the victims consumed water from this reservoir, sources told The Indian Express.
However, local authorities, sources said, have not yet established a direct link between the contaminated water and the deaths, nor have they determined the cause of the contamination.
Sources have also confirmed that a central team, which is currently in Jammu and Kashmir and assisting the local administration, has prima facie ruled out the possibility of a “mystery disease” outbreak. This, they said, means that an outbreak caused by a virus or bacteria has been ruled out. All the victims, including 14 children, belonged to three families from Baddal village in Rajouri district. @IhabFathiSulima #MedTwitter #MedEd #MedX
