Instructions have been given to the department to make preparations for ensuring cleanliness in both urban and rural areas and tackling waterlogging during this period.

The officials have also been directed to monitor the breeding and density of mosquitoes in all districts while monitoring intensive vector and mosquito control activities in high-risk areas with inter-departmental cooperation, the statement said.

During the Dastak campaign, the screening and treatment of individuals exhibiting symptoms identified by frontline workers will be a top priority.

As part of the ongoing disease prevention campaigns, the Health Department and allied departments, in collaboration with Anganwadi workers, will undertake extensive door-to-door publicity efforts to raise awareness about disease prevention among the residents of both urban and rural areas in Uttar Pradesh.

Special attention will be given to cleanliness as a fundamental aspect of disease prevention during these campaigns, it said.
