According the Friday's report, the unidentified disease gripped Darling for a week and Neta and Paudi Amarai in the district, some 200 km west of Kathmandu, for the last four days. The disease is characterized by headache, fever, common cold, fainting and diarrhea.

Classes in schools have also been affected due to the disease. However, district public health office said it was not aware of the epidemic.
