Kharar, October 16:- Under the Punjab Government’s ‘Every Friday, Fight Dengue’ campaign, the Health Department is continuously conducting awareness activities under the leadership of Health Minister Dr. Balbir Singh. As part of these efforts, a special awareness camp was organised at the Government High School and Government Primary School in village Batta under the guidance of Civil Surgeon Dr. Sangeeta Jain, Senior Medical Officer Dr. Preet Mohan Singh Khurana and District Epidemiologist Dr. Anamika.
During the camp, schoolchildren and teachers were given detailed information about identifying the mosquito that spreads dengue, the conditions that lead to its breeding and preventive measures. The team also surveyed the school premises and containers to ensure that mosquito larvae could be destroyed in time.
Health Supervisor Davinder Singh, Health Worker Manpreet Singh, breeding checkers and the entire school staff were also specially present on the occasion.
Senior Medical Officer Dr. Preet Mohan Singh Khurana said that prevention is the most effective way to protect against dengue and that water should not be allowed to accumulate in our surroundings. He appealed to people to clean and dry coolers, flowerpots and other containers in their homes and schools every week to prevent mosquitoes from breeding.
