Warangal Collector Dr Satya Sarada wants every village to help stop tuberculosis, or TB.

She asked young people and NCC cadets to raise awareness and help with screening.

TB is a contagious illness that can spread through the air.

People with a cough lasting more than two weeks or other listed symptoms should get checked at a government health centre.

Health workers may use sputum tests, chest X-rays or other tests when needed.

The government provides TB treatment for free.

Patients should take their medicine regularly and finish the course their doctors prescribe.

The Collector said this helps prevent drug-resistant TB.

She also asked departments and village representatives to work together.
