Four deaths were reported from the two remote sub-divisions of the district in the past week, where medical teams with paramedical staff have been transported by helicopter yesterday to organise health camps, Director (Preventive Medicine) R K Dhar told reporters.
The affected people are tribals and the outbreak could have occurred due to contaminated water from streams and rivulets in the area.
Teams of health workers would also visit the remote villages to spread awareness on hygienic lifestyles and would provide preventive medicines, he said.
