The state health department reported seven additional dengue cases, bringing the total to 446 across Bihar.
The Bihar health department confirmed the detection of seven new dengue infections, increasing the state's cumulative tally to 446 cases. The latest figures were released in a routine bulletin and reflect the continued spread of the mosquito-borne disease during the monsoon season.
Health officials noted that the surge follows a gradual rise in reported cases over the past weeks, with several districts recording clusters near water‑logged areas. Vector‑control teams have intensified fogging operations and are distributing larvicides in identified hotspots.
Authorities have urged residents to eliminate standing water around homes, use approved repellents, and seek immediate medical attention if fever, joint pain, or rash appear. The department will continue daily surveillance and update the public as the situation evolves.
