Authorities in Assam have said they are working hard to prevent the eruption of epidemics in crowded camps sheltering some 400,000 people after weeks of deadly ethnic violence. Some 250 physicians have been working round-the clock” to head off any outbreaks of sickness in the camps where thousands of families have taken shelter. “Our doctors have treated more than 150,000 people and this figure is not a small number. But we are lucky there has been no outbreak of any epidemic in the camps despite the very large number of inmates,” said state Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
