In Delhi, there are floods and disease problems. The water from the Yamuna river has caused stagnant water in the city, which is leading to various diseases. The danger of dengue fever is increasing in Delhi.
This week, there were 27 cases of dengue due to the flooding. A total of 163 dengue cases have been recorded this year. The Delhi government has come up with a strategy to prevent diseases and educate people about protecting themselves.
The government’s strategy includes determining the type of dengue virus through laboratories for better treatment and prevention. They will also use the hotline number 1031 for dengue treatment services. Surveillance rooms will be set up for testing and treatment, and schools will require students to wear full-sleeved dresses. Senior officers will monitor domestic breeding checks, and random house checks will be conducted. Precautionary messages will be displayed in metros, marketplaces, and hospitals, and concerns about mosquito breeding can be filed through the MCD app 311. Awareness campaigns will be conducted in schools, and dengue homework cards will be given to students.
These measures aim to prevent the spread of dengue and raise awareness among the public.
