Challenges remain regarding dengue

The current weather pattern is suitable for the Aedes mosquito which spreads dengue disease. Expert doctors also believe that mosquito activity can continue until the temperature level falls below 25 degrees Celsius. That means challenges still remain in terms of dengue.

Every effective step is being taken to prevent dengue

On the other hand, the departments involved in dengue prevention claim that effective steps are being taken at every level. Higher officers are also continuously directing their subordinates. Fogging and spraying of larvicide are being carried out at various places. The places where dengue mosquito larvae are being found are being destroyed on the spot.

Making people aware to prevent dengue

Departmental teams and volunteers are also reaching door to door to make people aware of the prevention of dengue. The special thing is that strict action is being taken against those who are careless towards cleanliness, but despite all this, the dengue mosquito is still wreaking havoc.
