Udupi Students to Fight Dengue as Awareness Ambassadors
Imagine tiny bugs called mosquitoes that can make people sick with dengue fever.
To stop this, students in Udupi are becoming helpers, or ambassadors, to teach others about keeping the area clean.
Dengue spreads through mosquitoes that live in standing water.
The government wants everyone to help by checking their surroundings, cleaning up any water where mosquitoes might lay eggs, and covering water containers.
This helps stop mosquitoes from breeding and keeps the community healthy.
This is a call to action for everyone to work together to stay safe from dengue.
