The Tiruchi Corporation is ramping up efforts to prevent dengue and other vector-borne diseases ahead of the monsoon season by identifying 28 vulnerable hotspots where cases have previously occurred. Surveillance is being conducted at approximately 150 medical facilities and 35 testing labs, with around four dengue cases reported this month. To control mosquito populations, the Corporation has deployed portable fogging machines and domestic breeding checkers for inspections across the city. Additionally, efforts will be made to address poorly maintained plots and scrap yards, which pose significant breeding risks, by issuing notices to property owners and scrap dealers to clean up their sites. The Corporation will also inspect school premises to mitigate potential mosquito breeding.
