The district Health department has constituted 15 teams to detect and destroy mosquito larvae as part of its efforts to check the spread of vector-borne diseases, especially dengue and chikungunya.
Health officials stated that all private hospitals and clinics had also been directed to inform the department immediately in case a suspected or confirmed patient visits them for treatment.
Civil Surgeon Dr Vijay Kumar said anti-larva teams of the department were conducting inspections daily. He said the owners of buildings from where mosquito larvae were detected were also being issued challans.
