Madhya Pradesh: The outbreak of dengue continues in Dubra, Gwalior district. Recently, the discovery of a dengue-positive patient in Teacher Colony caused a stir in the health department.

Dengue Positive Patient Found in Teacher Colony

This is the second dengue case reported in Teacher Colony, while a total of 24 dengue-positive patients have been identified in the Dubra area so far. Four new cases have been reported in the first eight days of October. According to malaria officer Kaushal Trivedi, Lakhan Lal Sharma, a resident of Teacher Colony, was unwell, and testing revealed he was dengue positive. Following this, the health department team promptly sprayed medication around his home. The team also discovered dengue larvae in nearby earthen pots, which were destroyed.

After the rains, flood conditions have developed in the Dubra area, leading to standing water in several places. This stagnant water has increased the risk of dengue. The health department team is continuously monitoring the situation in Chhimak, Pichhor, and Dubra city and spraying insecticides. BMO Alok Tyagi stated that since the threat of dengue has increased, our team has been active in areas with waterlogging.

Tyagi also mentioned that if the municipal corporation provides assistance, the situation could improve. All dengue-positive patients are completely healthy, but citizens need to remain vigilant about standing water in their surroundings to prevent the risk of dengue-like diseases. Active monitoring and collaboration can help control this issue.
