Locals said, "People used to go to a quack for treatment who used to use a single syringe on everyone." "40 positive cases have been found. If proper tests are done, at least 500 cases would come up," said Sunil, Bangarmau Councillor. "We had set up a health camps where these cases were found to be confirmed. We have received orders & are deciding our further course of action," Pramod Kumar, Medical Superintendent. "It's being investigated.
