Dengue Alert!

Let's fight Dengue! Call 1800-333 7777 if you have found a spot which can be a mosquito breeding ground.

We must first prevent the breeding of the Aedes mosquitoes (carrier) in order to prevent the spread of dengue fever. The Aedes mosquito has distinctive black and white stripes on its body. It usually breeds in clean, stagnant water. We can get rid of the Aedes mosquito by frequently checking and removing stagnant water.
