Union Home Minister Amit Shah has ordered an inter-ministerial team to investigate the deaths of 15 people due to a "mysterious illness" in Badhal village, Rajouri, Jammu and Kashmir. The fatalities, occurring over 45 days among three inter-related families, involved symptoms of fever, nausea, and unconsciousness. The team, including experts from health, agriculture, and forensic sciences, will visit on January 19 to assess the situation and provide immediate relief. Authorities report no bacterial or viral communicable disease but remain cautious. The affected homes have been sealed, and efforts are underway to prevent further incidents. A young girl remains critical.
