The cases of dengue infection are increasing rapidly in Gorakhpur. On Friday, the report of 7 people including a child and a teenager has come positive. The number of patients in the district has increased to 117. In the last 6 days (from 23 to 28 October), 34 infected have been found. Of these, 22 are in the city and 12 in the rural area.
Four patients are undergoing treatment in the hospital and the rest at home. During the investigation, notices were given to them when mosquito larvae were found in 11 houses. Also warned that next week re-examination will be done and action will be taken if larvae are found.
Source reduction done at 1098 places
District Malaria Officer Angad Singh said that dengue has been confirmed in one person each in Pastor Bazar, Janki Nagar, Harpur Budhat, Baksudi Jhangha, Tiwaripur, Rasulpur and Mohaddipur. Their ages are 19, 28, 20, 22, 22, 11 and 58 years respectively. Source reduction was done at 1098 places.
He has appealed that the weather has cooled down to a great extent. Dengue can now be easily controlled. Take preventive measures. Sleep under a mosquito net. Do not allow clean water to stagnate anywhere.
Women are more at risk in Chhath Puja
At the same time, the most danger due to the spread of dengue can be in Chhath Puja. Women will worship for two days in the tabal built in the ghats and parks, but anti-dengue larvae are not fogging in any park of the city.
In such a situation, during worship, most women can become victims of dengue mosquitoes. Although Municipal Commissioner Avinash Singh says, instructions have been given for continuous fogging at all places. Any negligence in this will not be tolerated.
