Chittoor Collector Orders Swift Action Against Dengue
The local government in Chittoor is working hard to stop the spread of dengue, a disease spread by mosquitoes.
The District Collector told officials from different departments to work together.
They're cleaning up places where water can collect, like tanks, and spraying to kill mosquito larvae.
They're also telling people how to avoid getting sick.
They're doing all of this because some people in the area already have dengue, and they want to stop more people from getting it.
They will also collect data from hospitals about cases of dengue.
Chittoor District Collector ordered action to control dengue and malaria.
A video conference was held with various officials to coordinate disease prevention.
