Srinagar December 11 (KNS): Expressing serious concern over the outbreak of Hepatitis disease in Turka Tachloo and  its adjoining areas in Yaripora, Behibagh  of South Kashmir's Kulgam district  suspected to be caused due to untreated drinking water, CPI(M) leader Mohamad Yousuf Tarigami demanded immediate steps to control and prevent spread of the disease.

 

Tarigami said that the filtration plants at Yaripora, Behibagh and Water Supply Schemes in the area constructed at a huge cost are either non-functional or partly functional.

 

He asked the administration to formulate a comprehensive contingency plan to curb the disease.

“Expert teams should be deputed to these areas to go deep into the causative agents which have resulted in the outbreak of this deadly disease,” he said.(KNS)
