Mysore/Mysuru: With rising dengue cases causing a scare among the public, the Health Department has launched a drive to eradicate larvae breeding spots of Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes, which can spread dengue, Zika, Mayaro, yellow fever, chikungunya and other vector-borne diseases.
The Health Department has declared every Friday as ‘mosquito larvae destruction day.’ This initiative follows an order issued by the Health and Family Welfare Services Department Director D. Randeep, asking all district authorities to conduct the drive every Friday to check the spread of dengue and other vector-borne diseases.
