Diarrhoea outbreak in AP dist triggers panic
The Morning Standard
|September 17, 2025
THE situation in New Rajarajeswari (RR) Peta remains tense following a diarrhoea outbreak a week ago, with residents gripped by fear.
Many streets appear deserted as people hesitate to venture out, despite government precautions. So far, 330 cases have been officially reported. Of these, 293 patients have recovered and been discharged, while 37 are still undergoing treatment — 34 at the Government General Hospital (GGH) and the remainder at the Care and Share medical camp.
Adding to the concern, several patients are reportedly opting for treatment at private hospitals and local clinics. Residents claim that many cases are going unreported as people prefer private care. Meanwhile, sporadic typhoid cases have also begun surfacing in the same area, further heightening public anxiety.
