Outbreak of measles in remote villages in East Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh has been reported with detection of at least 30 cases.

According to official sources here today, the worst affected villages in the district are Namchar Bagang and Soshi Bagang, around 17 kilometres from Chayangtajo, the circle headquarter.        

Villagers have been forced to take shelter at makeshifts accommodations in deep forest, in order to remain isolated from other infected people.        

A voluntary health camp was held at Chayangtajo on Sunday and a team of doctors also went to various villages and gave medications to infected children. The team would visit every household to reach out to all the villagers, sources informed.        

Suspicious cases of malaria and viral cough were also detected, said Dr B Gara of General Hospital, Naharlagun.        

Sources say anti-measles vaccination campaign team is yet to reach the headquarters, and in the interior areas it is worse as children are not vaccinated against the dreaded viral disease.
