Mr Vij said that people have urged to cover water utensils and tanks in their houses and to use mosquito nets during the night to stay safe from any type of vector-borne diseases.
He said that people should fill water after cleaning and drying the coolers, vases, water utensils of animals and birds, and water tanks once a week. Apart from this, gambusia fish should be released in the standing water in the ponds of villages, which prevents mosquitoes from growing by eating the larvae.
Advising the Sarpanches, the Minister said that if any person in the village complaints of having a fever with cold, he should immediately get free blood tests done at the nearest health centre and get complete treatment.
