Health officials warn that dengue infections remain active in Mohali during September, urging residents to stay vigilant.
Health authorities in Mohali have reported that dengue fever continues to affect the city as September unfolds, extending the transmission season that began earlier this year. The persistence of cases has heightened public health concerns across the region.
The district health office has intensified vector‑control operations, including fogging, larvicidal sprays, and removal of stagnant water sources where mosquitoes breed. Residents are being reminded to use protective measures such as repellents, window screens, and to eliminate any containers that can hold water.
Officials are closely monitoring the situation and have set up dedicated fever clinics to provide rapid diagnosis and treatment. Community participation is being urged to curb the spread, with local NGOs and schools joining awareness drives.
The continued presence of dengue underscores the need for sustained preventive actions throughout the monsoon and post‑monsoon months, as health officials aim to prevent a surge in severe cases.
