Encephalitis, a disease about which not many people know has taken roots in Gorakhpur,UP. This disease is caused by bacterial infection and mostly affects children. The situation is becoming worse with every single day passing by, as the infection has claimed 215 lives . Here is a recent news report related to the outbreak.

Why is it that the children of Gorakhpur are losing their lives to the infection ? Why the govt. has not done anything to control this outbreak? Isn't it an issue to be taken care of ? People are suffering and witnessing the deaths of their loved one's but are unable to prevent it. Neither, they have adequate funds to get the infection cured nor do they know the cause of infection.
Gorakhpur must get rid of it for the sake of humanity ,and, it will only be possible with the serious efforts of govt. It should provide proper medical facilities for the infected children and organize campaigns for spreading awareness about the disease.
Hoping, the situation in Gorakhpur will improve soon and adequate measures will be taken to avoid such an outbreak...
