Balodabazar Arvind Mishra. The health department seems to be troubled due to the continuous spread of diarrhea in Balodabazar district. Collector Deepak Soni has asked the health department to remain alert. The latest case has come from Karamda, where suddenly people complained of vomiting and diarrhea since last evening and more than 40 people fell ill within no time.
