Health authorities have found dengue larvae at five locations in Gujarat during recent
inspections. The dengue prevention campaign in Gujrat is continuing to protect residents and
reduce the risk of mosquito-borne disease. Teams have carried out spraying and other control
measures at all affected sites to stop mosquito breeding.

According to an official source, Deputy Commissioner Noor-ul-Ain Qureshi directed the
surveillance campaign across the district. Chief Executive Officer of the District Health Authority
Dr. Syed Aitizaz Ahmed is supervising the activities to ensure that preventive measures are
carried out properly.

Officials confirmed that all sites where dengue larvae were found received treatment according
to standard operating procedures. Health teams also completed the required response activities
at these locations. These steps aim to control mosquito breeding and reduce the chances of
dengue spreading to nearby communities.

Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease that can cause serious health problems. Regular
inspections help authorities find mosquito breeding places early and take action before the
situation becomes more difficult to control. The district’s ongoing efforts focus on identifying risky
locations and treating affected areas without delay.

Health teams are continuing inspections across Gujarat to find places where mosquitoes may
breed. They are checking different locations and responding whenever dengue larvae are
discovered. Spraying and other control measures remain important parts of the campaign to
protect public health.

Residents can also help prevent dengue by keeping their homes and surroundings clean. They
should remove standing water from tyres, flowerpots, buckets, and other containers where
mosquitoes may lay eggs. Covering stored water and cleaning outdoor spaces regularly can
also help reduce mosquito breeding.

The district administration aims to reduce dengue risks through regular monitoring and timely
action. Authorities are continuing their efforts to protect residents and prevent the disease from
spreading across Gujrat. Public cooperation remains essential for making these preventive
measures more effective.

Residents should follow health guidance and report suspected mosquito breeding sites to the
relevant authorities. Working together can help communities maintain cleaner surroundings and
reduce the risk of dengue infections.
