As a part of the anti-dengue marketing campaign being undertaken by the Well being Division to stop the unfold of dengue, Kapurthala Civil Surgeon Dr Rajeev Prashar performed a subject inspection on Friday to determine potential mosquito breeding websites and verify for dengue larvae.
Through the inspection, Dr Prashar examined numerous areas the place stagnant water might accumulate and directed Well being Division groups to conduct common surveillance and take quick measures to get rid of mosquito breeding websites. Dr Prashar mentioned the simplest technique to forestall dengue was to cease the breeding of the mosquitoes that transmit the illness. He urged residents to make sure that water didn’t stagnate round properties, faculties, hospitals and different establishments. Coolers, flowerpots, discarded tyres, damaged utensils and different containers able to amassing water ought to be saved clear and dry, he added.
“If we cease mosquito breeding immediately, we are able to forestall dengue tomorrow,” Dr Prashar mentioned. The Civil Surgeon appealed to residents to look at a ‘Dry Day’ each week by emptying and cleansing all water-holding containers in and round their properties.
