The risk of dengue and malaria has increased with the rainy season. The survey of the department has found larvae at 78 places in Lucknow. In such a situation, people will have to take special precautions. Medical experts say that water should not be collected at any cost. There is a need for more vigilance, especially for transmat, because dengue and malaria patients have been found in this area every year in July and August. So far more than 4500 patients of Corona have been found in Lucknow. Beds are full in most hospitals. In such a situation, the larvae of dengue and malaria have also started getting mixed. The team of Malaria Department has found dengue-malaria worms in coolers, utensils and pots of 87 houses. Notice has been issued, and fines will be levied on them. Last year, larvae were found twice in various departments of King George's Medical University (KGMU). In such a situation, KGMU had to pay a fine of about two and a half thousand rupees. Similarly, larvae were also found in other medical and government institutions.
Department started investigation
The health department's malaria unit has begun a survey to find the larvae after rain. The 110 wards are divided into four sectors. The city wards are divided into Fazullaganj, Chitwapur, Aishbagh and Baba Hazaribagh. Apart from this, separate teams have been set up in Gomti Nagar. This team will go to various apartments to clean the pots. Action will also be taken against waterlogging in car parking spots on the ground floor.
