Dengue resurfaces in hilly areas after summer rains in Kozhikode
- | Sunday | 22nd April, 2018
Intermittent summer rains in the last two weeks have led to the resurgence of dengue cases in hilly areas in Kozhikode district. Health Department personnel and volunteers of Kudumbasree and other non-governmental organisations visited residential localities too to create awareness about maintaining hygiene. Breeding of mosquitoes in rubber plantations was the main cause for concern, Health Department sources said. The department convened a meeting of estate owners in the Adivaram-Vallyadu area on Friday and Saturday and told them to take preventive measures, including dry container elimination. Owners of two camps meant for migrant labourers were fined after mosquito breeding sources were noticed on the premises in an inspection by department staff.
