Kohima: Dengue infections are ticking upward in Dimapur. Officials confirmed the rise on October 4, citing weather conditions that favor mosquito breeding. The Aedes mosquito thrives in this climate. They carry the virus from person to person.
Health authorities want residents to take immediate action. They are demanding that everyone eliminate stagnant water sources near homes. Clean your drains and gutters now. Empty out any unused containers, old tires, and flowerpots that hold water. These are prime breeding grounds.
Public cooperation remains the main defense against an outbreak. Health department officials stress the need for consistent source reduction to break the cycle of transmission. Residents should stay alert. Early medical consultation is vital for anyone showing signs of the illness.
The department is keeping a close watch on the situation. During previous spikes, they managed the threat through monitoring and community cleanup efforts. They reminded the public that "the Health department had closely monitored cases and advised the public to keep surroundings free of stagnant water." Cooperation is the only way to stall the spread.
