Jamshedpur: Around 30 villagers have been found infected with malaria in the last 24 hours in three villages of Tonto block of West Singhbhum district. Health officials said two doctors and nursing staff have been camping in the disease-affected villages since Thursday. They examined 100 villagers from Ratanpat, Jikilta and Tonto Khas and found 40 unwell and 30 malaria positive. Tonto health in-charge Dr. Baliram Majhi is leading the health team in the block. Apart from health officials, a team of multi-purpose workers (MPWs) was sent to the villages on Friday. They are going door to door to make the villagers aware about the measures to prevent malaria. The workers will survey houses and nearby places to identify the reason behind the sudden increase in the vector-borne disease. The Health Department has asked the District Municipal Corporation officials to conduct a massive cleanliness drive in the affected villages. District Civil Surgeon Dr. Sahir Pal has appealed to the villagers not to go to quacks and go to the nearest Public Health Center (PHC).
