Ensure All Possible Efforts on the Ground for Effective Prevention of Seasonal Diseases

Jaipur : For the effective prevention of dengue, malaria, and other seasonal diseases, including chikungunya, all officers, under the leadership of sub-divisional officers, must make every possible effort on the ground to protect the community’s health. This was emphasized by District Collector Dr. Jitendra Kumar Soni.

Dr. Soni made this statement during a weekly review meeting held at the District Collectorate Auditorium on Tuesday. He directed the Sub-Divisional Officers to conduct regular inspections of public hospitals and to compile a roster of available resources, including fogging machines, to carry out intensive fogging in all areas by October 25.

He stressed the need for more effective implementation of campaigns such as “War-Har Sunday” to combat dengue. The Block Chief Medical Officer should enhance coordination with the Block Development Officer to ensure cleanliness in the area. Additionally, anti-larval activities must be intensified to prevent mosquito breeding, and methods for preventing seasonal diseases should be promoted among the public.

During the meeting, the District Collector instructed revenue officials to prioritize the resolution of road-related cases, including name changes and land conversions, and to take effective action on cases received during public hearings. He also directed officials to develop quality parks in their areas within the next three months and to reconstruct and repair gravel roads by October 30.

The meeting, chaired by the District Collector, also discussed various other important points, including land allocation for budget announcements and the progress and action plans for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin, MGNREGA, and the Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Department.
