RAJBIRAJ: Cash-strapped Kanchanrup Municipality has been struggling to deal with swine flu and Hong Kong flu outbreak in Saptari district of late. Two weeks ago, local Hari Lal Saha of the municipality's ward no. 7, who made a pilgrimage to Babadham in India, was tested positive for swine flu. Health camps have been set up at different places to provide treatment to people with symptoms such as coughing, fever and common cold.
