Malaria raises its ugly head in Jajpur, Kalahandi villages

Bhawanipatna/Jajpur/Bhubaneswar: Malaria cases are pouring in from Kalahandi and Jajpur districts. Children in several remote areas, including Nagada, in Jajpur have been hospitalised after being tested positive for the vector-borne disease.
