Dengue in Shikarpur

Published September 12, 2018

THIS refers to the dengue cases in Shikarpur. This would have been averted had the government made appropriate arrangements to keep the city clean.

Heaps of garbage and sewage water are two of the main reasons for dengue cases. The authorities should launch an insecticide spray campaign to eliminate mosquitoes in the city at the earliest.
