Villagers setup road block to prevent swine flu
Mahbubnagar: Residents of Salkarpet village in Nagarkurnool mandal here on Friday raised a fence in an effort to prevent people of neighboring Thudukurthi village from entering their village lest they catch swine flu.
Four cases of swine flu have been reported from the Thudukurthi in the last few days. Even though the district administration has been reassuring people that the situation was 'under control', people in the villages surrounding the affected village are a worried lot.
The people of Salkarpet and Thudukurthi villages were seen wearing masks to shield themselves from the disease. The people are thronging medical camps set up the government to detect carriers of the pathogen.
