Due to scarcity, the number of gastro patients is increasing day by day, but the government is not taking any care as there is no proper treatment facility due to the stagnation of rainwater. There are also no roads due to which they cannot even go to the city for medical treatment. They demanded that medical camps should be established to protect the victims of the rains from gastroenteritis and malaria.
