According to district health authorities, field teams are carrying out large-scale mechanical removal of dengue vectors by targeting areas most prone to mosquito breeding. The teams are clearing stagnant water, cleaning drains, and removing containers or discarded items where water can collect, creating ideal conditions for dengue larvae.
