ISLAMABAD, Oct 21 (APP):As the number of dengue cases rising sharply in recent weeks in the Federal Capital, the district administration has launched an all-out anti-dengue fumigation drive in various areas on Monday.

Areas such as Ghauri Town, Dhoke Syedan and Pindorian have already been covered, while anti-dengue fumigation are actively underway in Bilal Masjid, Musa Town, Sarai Kharbuza, Tarnol and Korang areas, he added.
Deputy Commissioner (DC) Islamabad Irfan Nawaz Memon has instructed all relevant teams to ensure that no area is left untreated during the fumigation drive. Citizens are encouraged to inform the authorities if their areas are missed, ensuring a thorough citywide coverage.
DC urged the residents to cooperate with the authorities’ efforts to control the dengue disease.
In addition to fumigation, the district administration is focused on providing effective treatment for dengue patients. Dengue wards have been set up in hospitals across the city, and the situation is being closely monitored.
This ongoing effort by the Islamabad district administration highlights the seriousness of the dengue situation and their determination to protect citizens from the disease.
It is pertinent to mention here that Rawalpindi has reported 3,220 dengue cases, and Islamabad has recorded 2,276 cases till the last week. However, authorities detected 1,143 positive larvae samples in various parts of the city till the last week.
