\u201cTeams of technicians have been deployed to control erosion. However, locals are facing a shortage of required materials to control the flood,\u201d says Chief of Water Induced Disaster and River Control Division Office, Rautahat,<\/span> Raj Kumar Sriwstab<\/span>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nHealth, A Serious Concern<\/strong>
\nAdding to the existing concerns, floods in Bhaktapur have given rise to an outbreak of Hepatitis-E in Bhaktapur. Overflowing of the Hanumante River as a result of incessant rains resulted in floods contaminating drinking water in the area.<\/p>\nSpeaking about the situation, Coordinator of Clinical Research Unit at Sukraraj Tropical and Infectious Disease Hospital Dr. Sher Bahadur Pun said some of the locals were reportedly found to be Hepatitis E positive.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne person with Hepatitis E is enough to cause an outbreak. Usually, it doesn\u2019t lead to long-term illness or liver damage like some other forms of hepatitis do. But Hepatitis E can be dangerous for pregnant women or anyone with the weak immune system, including the elderly or people who are ill,\u201d adds Pun.<\/p>\n
