MPW Jamatia expressed concern that many villagers are still not connected with ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist) workers, which may be contributing to underreporting of cases. “If the public were more connected with ASHA workers, the number of positive TB cases might be even higher,” she stated.

She emphasized the importance of early detection, regular medical check-ups, and awareness campaigns to combat the spread of TB. The health department is expected to intensify outreach efforts in the area to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment for affected individuals.
