Dengue is a severe sickness caused by mosquitoes in Rawalpindi, making many people worried. The DHA and District Health Authority are trying to stop this disease but need our help. In this article, we’ll discuss what’s happening with the dengue awareness campaign in Rawalpindi and why it isn’t complicated.
Dengue Mosquito Babies Found
According to international news, Recently, people found baby dengue mosquitoes in 578 houses and 73 outdoor places in just one day. This is bad because these baby mosquitoes can grow up and make more people sick.
Fines as a Measure
In response to the recurring presence of dengue larvae in these areas, authorities took stringent actions. Fines totalling Rs36,000 were imposed within a single day on individuals and households that were found to be neglecting measures to prevent dengue breeding. This move aimed to serve as a deterrent and encourage responsible actions among the residents.
Criticism from Other Organizations
Breaking News: Even though the DHA is trying hard to stop dengue, some other groups fighting dengue are unhappy with what the DHA is doing. They say the DHA’s actions are just for show and not working well enough. This means we need to work together better and make a plan that covers everything to fight dengue properly.
Rising Dengue Cases
The number of confirmed dengue cases this season has climbed to 948. In the past 24 hours alone, 45 new confirmed dengue cases were reported, further escalating the situation. The total number of hospital patients receiving treatment is 89, with nine individuals in critical condition. However, there is a silver lining, as 859 patients have been successfully treated.
