Title: Need to check the further spread of ‘Leppropyrocis’ in Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
SHRI MANORANJAN BHAKTA (ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS): There has been an outbreak of epidemic in Andaman & Nicobar Islands. It has been noticed that in many places after 3 days fever, the patient dies instantly. A large number of patients with fever are now in different dispensaries and Public Health Centres. The fever has been identified as Leppropyrocis by the Indian Medical Council. Every year this fever attack large number of population of this far flung area. I feel that urgent steps needs to be taken to get the disease examined by a team of scientist specialists of reputed laboratories and particularly by World Health Organisation.
I urge upon the Union Government to take all possible and immediate measures in the best interest of the common people living in the far flung remote islands.
