Dengue cases rise in the region, health department steps up fogging
With seasonal changes bringing vector-borne diseases back into focus, health authorities have been put on high alert following a fresh surge in infections. According to officials, the total number of dengue cases in the district has now climbed to 25, prompting immediate preventive measures.
Medical teams have been deployed to affected areas to conduct intensive surveillance and prevent further transmission. Authorities are urging residents to ensure no water stagnates around their homes, as stagnant water serves as a primary breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Hospitals under pressure, patients under close watch
Patients diagnosed with the infection are currently undergoing treatment under close medical supervision. Hospitals have made special arrangements to accommodate patients and monitor their platelet counts regularly. Doctors emphasize the importance of early detection and timely intervention to avoid severe complications.
Intensive fogging and anti-larval drives
Local administration and municipal bodies have launched a massive cleanliness and sanitation drive. Fogging is being carried out extensively in vulnerable residential zones, and anti-larval chemicals are being sprayed in stagnant water bodies and drains.
Expert warnings on symptoms
Health experts have advised citizens not to take high fever lightly. Severe headache, joint pain, and fatigue are common symptoms, but warning signs like severe abdominal pain or bleeding require immediate medical attention.

Conclusion
Combating dengue requires active participation from both the administration and the public. Maintaining proper hygiene and eliminating breeding sites remain the most effective tools in preventing the spread of this disease.
