Punjab health officials sent teams to identified hotspot zones in Mohali, where they carried out larval destruction to curb mosquito breeding.
The Punjab Health Department dispatched field teams to several identified hotspot locations in Mohali as part of its ongoing vector‑control drive. The teams focused on areas where stagnant water and poor sanitation had created favorable conditions for mosquito breeding. Using approved larvicidal measures, they systematically destroyed mosquito larvae found in these sites.
Officials said the operation aims to reduce the risk of mosquito‑borne diseases such as dengue and malaria, which have shown seasonal spikes in the region. The health teams coordinated with local municipal authorities to ensure that breeding sites are regularly monitored and treated.
The department urged residents to cooperate by eliminating standing water around homes and reporting any new breeding grounds to the nearest health office. Continued vigilance, officials added, is essential to keep the disease threat under control.
