DEHRADUN, JAN. 30: Faced with the prospect of evacuation from houses they have been living in for decades, a large number of Joshimath residents are now battling health issues such as hypertension and insomnia.

According to the health department data, the number of BP patients is increasing daily. Before the disaster struck Joshimath, the number of BP patients in the city was around 80 which has increased to more than 385.

Data from the health department shows that there has been a sharp increase in the number of BP patients after the disaster. So far, more than 2,000 persons have been screened in community health centres and health camps, out of which 15 per cent, i.e., more than 300 were BP patients.
