She said all necessary medications were available and swift action was being taken on the lone dengue case reported in the sub-division. Kaler directed the SMOs to coordinate with private hospital doctors to ensure immediate contact with the administration if any new cases arise. She highlighted the ongoing door-to-door inspections in the city, with teams spraying insecticides wherever larvae were found and fines were issued for non-compliance. Additionally, the MC is prioritising city’s development by installing 1,500 new LED streetlights in the coming days.

Work on water supply and sewage systems is underway, amounting to over Rs 1 crore, and four new tubewells have also been installed to enhance the city’s water supply.
