Malaria and other diseases gripped the remote tribal hamlet: TJSS efforts unveiled truth

UNI Oct 03, 2018

The diseases like malaria, diarrhea have gripped the far flung tribal hamlet of Malirai Debbarma Para as the tribal employees' organization Tripura Janajati Sebuk Sangha (TJSS) has helped to reveal it through their campaign there in the bordering subdivision of Kamalpur in the northern Tripura district of Dhalai, Tripura on October 2.



The TJSS has arranged for medical camp and assistance providing venture in that remote hamlet. At least 25 kms from the sub-divisional town of Kamalpur, the hamlet is set at the hilltop of Atharamura hill range. After covering almost 10 kms there is virtually no road. Only jungle covered hilly tract leads to the village. It nearly has taken more than an hour to cover the uphill distance.

The village of Malirai Debbarma Para has merely 12 families and its adjacent Bhagirath Riang Para has 9 families. Both the hamlets are devoid of basic amenities like potable water, road connectivity, schooling or health care mainly due to the hilly terrain. The TJSS has not only arranged for medical camp and provided medicines but also supplied them clothings. In the medical camp Dr. Malin Debbarma has remained present. In total of 21 blood samples which 6 have been found positive.

Moreover, eight patients have been found stricken with diarrhea, three with skin disease and 9 with other diseases. The doctor has provided them with free medicines. They have also provided with clothing. In this regard, TJSS state vice president Sachlang Tripura has remarked, "Our organization has trying to help the government to combat malaria and other problems. Hence, we have reached here with some facilities, which though is very meagre to the need. Still we will continue our venture".

BJP Kamalpur mandal president Prasanta Sinha has also attended the campaign. He has remarked, "The effort of TJSS is not only remarkable but also beyond any praise. I on my part I will try along with the administration to provide them better living conditions. Moreover, the patients must be taken to the hospital immediately". In fact, the campaign has unveiled another saga of malaria in the malaria stricken district.
