Uncertainty still surrounds 17 deaths in Rajouri village

SRINAGAR, Feb 15 (SABAH): The unexplained deaths of 17 people, including 13 children and 4 adults, in Badhaal village of Rajouri district in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), continue to shroud in mystery, as authorities remain unable to determine the cause of the fatalities even after two months.

According to media reports, despite the return of 350 quarantined residents to their homes after 22 days in isolation facilities, uncertainty persists. Additionally, 40 individuals remain under round-the-clock medical surveillance at a special ward in Government Medical College Associated Hospital, Rajouri.

A doctor treating the affected villagers expressed frustration over the lack of a clear diagnosis.
