Abohar, October 20
Teams of the Health Department and the Municipal Corporation found dengue larvae in dozens of houses as well as Nehru Park here.
Health Inspector Tehal Singh said larvae were found in a water tank and were destroyed on the spot. The team also checked earthen pots, hung by social activists from trees to provide water and feed for birds. Larvae spotted in the pots were also destroyed and caretakers were told to keep the place clean.
The team said in the past two days, dengue larvae were found in 70 houses and challans were issued on the spot. To date, 30 dengue patients have been admitted to the special ward, which was earmarked in the Sub-Divisional Civil Hospital. “A report has been submitted to the MC regarding the dengue larvae found in large quantities in Nehru Park so that strict instructions are issued to the maintenance staff,” said SMO Dr Gagandeep Singh. — OC
