💨 Abstract

In Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district, 17 people have died due to a mysterious illness. Authorities have cancelled leaves of doctors and paramedics, and increased quarantine measures. Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh stated that initial investigations suggest the cause is a toxin, not an infection or virus. The remote Badhaal village where the deaths occurred has been declared a containment zone, and both central and local probes are underway.
