Health officials have activated intensified surveillance across districts and are urging residents to eliminate standing water where mosquitoes breed. Vector control teams have been dispatched to high‑risk zones, and fogging operations are being carried out in affected neighborhoods.
The surge comes as the region approaches the monsoon season, a period traditionally associated with higher mosquito activity. Authorities have advised the public to use protective measures such as repellents, screened windows, and early medical consultation for fever symptoms to curb further spread.
