JAMMU: In a bid to intensify efforts to control the spread of dengue fever in Jammu, Commissioner Jammu Municipal Corporation, Dr. Devansh Yadav, conducted an extensive tour of various wards of Jammu Municipal Corporation, here today.

During the tour, the Commissioner visited wards number 63, 64, 65, 66 and 67 where the health and malaria team of JMC is actively engaged in fogging exercises to eradicate mosquito breeding sites and the main objective of the initiative is to prevent further cases of dengue fever by eliminating the mosquito population.

 Emphasizing the importance of collective efforts in combating this public health concern, the Commissioner urged upon the residents to take proactive measures by disposing of collected water in and around their homes and dwelling units.  Disposing off collected water in and around their homes would significantly contribute to preventing mosquito breeding, he said adding that working together, we can successfully mitigate the spread of dengue fever and maintain a healthy environment.

 Dr. Yadav directed the fogging team to expedite their operations, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all wards under jurisdiction of JMC as soon as possible, saying that the concerted effort would effectively control the dengue menace and safeguard public health.

Among others, Joint Commissioner works, Firdous Ahmad Qazi, Deputy Commissioner (South) Lal Chand, Health Officer, Dr. Vinod Sharma, besides other senior officers of JMC accompanied the Commissioner during the tour.
