Diarrhea and cholera outbreaks in Parsa are not being controlled. Although stakeholders claim that the infection rate has decreased, the number of patients is increasing day by day. According to the new data released by the Birganj Metropolitan Municipality at around 10 am on Sunday, the number of cholera infected people in the Metropolitan Municipality alone has reached 159.

Among those who came in contact with Pokharia Hospital, the number of cholera infected has reached 16. The number of cholera infected in the district has now reached 175 in Birgunj and Pokharia.

The ministers of the federal government who come to get on-site information about the outbreak of cholera, after meeting the cholera and diarrhea patients here, claim that the outbreak of these diseases is decreasing. To prevent the spread of the disaster, the office of the Metropolitan Corporation has closed all the educational institutes here for a week. The metropolis has paid attention to the purity and cleanliness of drinking water. But still the main source of cholera bacteria has not been determined.

As expected at the beginning, according to the results of various laboratories, cholera bacteria was not found in the water of both drinking water institute and deep boring in Birganj metropolis. But no attempt has been made by any concerned body to find cholera germs in other things except water. In such a state of confusion, the general public is also confused and suspicious.

According to the latest data of the Health Division of the Metropolitan Municipality, 804 diarrhea and cholera patients have come in contact with various hospitals in Birganj till Sunday morning. 30 of them are new patients. 609 out of 804 have returned home after treatment. 195 are still undergoing treatment. Out of 195 treated, 47 are infected with cholera. Currently also  172 are being treated in the general ward of different hospitals. 6 people are admitted to HDU and 17 people are being treated in ICU.
