Dengue Drive Day to continue till November: DC Sasikanth Senthil

August 2: The district administration will now work on destruction of breeding places of mosquito (larvae) at ward level in order to bring down the dengue cases in Mangalore city corporation limits.
DC Senthil has has sought cooperation from Mangalore City South MLA Vedavyas Kamath and Mangalore City North MLA Dr Bharath Shetty in involving booth-level committees for source reduction at ward level.
DC briefed the MLAs on the initiatives taken to tackle dengue outbreak. he mentioned that attempts were being made to bring down incidences of dengue cases through a four-pronged strategy. Based on the data on dengue cases, updated on daily basis, the city’s map had been divided into 140 grids (each grid covers over 300 houses). Since July 18 the teams meet everyday at 7 am and identify the grid based on the data, he added. A team led by district health officer carries out larvae survey and source reduction. A second team led by the MCC commissioner carries out fogging, desilting of stormwater drains and draining water from abandoned construction sites. The teams distribute handbills and attempt to create awareness about the mosquito larvae among the public.
Along with this, the DC  informed that they were initiating ‘qualitative information’ from this week onwards. Under this initiative, information like how the patient contracted dengue will be obtained and collated to understand the dynamics of how dengue spreads.DC was hopeful that through such a sustained scientific campaign they would bring down incidences of dengue cases by two weeks.
