Jorhat Grapples with Vector-Borne Diseases After Floods

After recent floods in Jorhat, India, there's a rise in diseases spread by insects like mosquitoes.

Sadly, one person has died from Japanese Encephalitis (JE), a serious illness.

Several others are also sick with JE and dengue fever, a similar disease.

Health officials are working hard to tell people about the risks and to get rid of mosquito breeding spots.

They want people to be careful, especially farmers, and to get medical help quickly if they feel unwell.
