Nuh residents to get free insecticide nets
Chandigarh, October 11
Health Minister Anil Vij said that 1.74 lakh insecticide nets would be given away free of cost to control vector-borne diseases in Nuh district. As many as 142 high-risk villages have been identified for this purpose.
The minister said that insecticide nets had been received from the Central Government and soon they would be distributed among residents. He said that due to proximity to Delhi, cases of malaria were found to be more in Mewat area as compared to other areas of the state during recent years.
Vij said that 72,000 RDT kits had also been sent to Nuh district for rapid testing of blood in case of diseases such as malaria, chikungunya, dengue and others. “The report of the test conducted on RDT kits can be obtained in 15-20 minutes. As per requirement, such kits have also been provided to Palwal and Yamunanagar districts,” he said.—TNS
