LAHORE: On the instructions of Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif, the dengue situation is being monitored across the province and line departments have been asked to review the situation.
The Provincial Minister for Primary Healthcare and Population Khawaja Imran Nazir said that in view of the recent rains, work should be done on an emergency basis to prevent the spread of dengue.
The Punjab Minister for Specialised Healthcare and Medical Education Khawaja Salman Rafique directed to provide staff of Population Welfare Clinics to anti-dengue teams in high-risk areas. He said that the Cooperative housing societies need to remain active. Water should not be allowed to stagnate at construction sites. Secretaries of allied departments should ensure implementation of decisions taken in dengue meeting because dengue cannot be fought without the hard work of all concerned departments. Surveillance of anti-dengue activities in high-risk districts should be ensured at all costs, he said.
