A mysterious fever has struck Birikote village in Odisha’s Gajapati district, affecting 30-40 people, including children. Symptoms include high fever, joint pain, swelling of limbs, and discomfort during urination. Initial malaria tests were negative. No medical team has reached the village yet, and many villagers, mostly from Below Poverty Line (BPL) families, are struggling without proper care. Dr. Prasanta Sahu has sent samples for further testing and will dispatch a medical team for investigation. Locals are reporting severe suffering and limited medical assistance.
