In light of the rising incidence of dengue cases reported across the state, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR) Minister Priyank Kharge has directed all gram panchayats to take precautionary measures promptly.
The directive mandates that all gram panchayats must implement protocols to manage dengue cases, with specific emphasis on ensuring regular cleaning of water storage tanks, open reservoirs and public toilets to maintain weekly health standards.
In an effort to curb the spread of dengue in rural areas and effectively control dengue cases, the Minister has outlined several urgent measures.
Minister Kharge also highlighted the importance of keeping control valves operational in water supply systems to prevent water stagnation and control mosquito breeding.
To enhance dengue control efforts, gram panchayats are encouraged to establish "village health, sanitation and nutrition committees" to actively promote dengue control initiatives.
