Health Officials Urge Mosquito‑Control as Rain‑Induced Outbreak Threat Looms

The monsoon season has intensified the risk of mosquito‑borne illnesses across the district. Health authorities are urging residents to eliminate standing water in containers such as buckets, flower pots, old tyres and water tanks, and to use full‑sleeve clothing, mosquito nets and repellents. Doctors advise anyone experiencing high fever, severe headache, joint pain, retro‑orbital pain, vomiting or a rash to seek immediate testing at the nearest government health centre. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent serious complications associated with dengue and malaria.
