Rainy Season Brings Increased Risk of Dengue and Mosquito-Borne Diseases, Public Urged to Follow Essential Prevention Measures

Bhubaneswar,  Aug 10 [UDN}:During the rainy season, stagnant water collected in and around homes becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Places such as water-filled containers, unused pots, discarded items, drains, and other areas where water remains accumulated can lead to a rapid increase in mosquito populations. These mosquitoes can spread dangerous diseases like dengue and other mosquito-borne infections, posing a serious health risk to individuals and communities.
Therefore, everyone should take necessary precautions to prevent water from collecting in residential areas and nearby surroundings. Regularly clean and dry water storage containers, remove waste materials that can hold rainwater, keep drains and surroundings clean, and ensure that no stagnant water remains for a long period.
By maintaining cleanliness and following preventive measures, we can reduce mosquito breeding and protect ourselves, our families, and our communities from diseases like dengue. Let us work together during the rainy season to keep our homes and surroundings safe, healthy, and free from mosquito-related health threats.
