Peshawar, Sep 2 (TIWN) Even as Pakistan is busy taking up the Kashmir issue, several areas in the country were suffering from filth and disease.

The health department issued an advisory in March this year seeking coordination among the line departments but it went unheeded and now an outbreak of the disease is ongoing.  More than 100 health facilities in the district have been receiving over 100 suspected patients daily with complaints of vomiting, fever and abdominal pain. About 50 of them are tested positive and about 4,000 have screened so far, according to official document. City’s teaching hospitals have so far treated 188 patients where 25 have been admitted in isolation wards. The affected people aged from two to 65 years.
