The Punjab Health Department has launched a citywide door‑to‑door dengue survey in Mohali and is inspecting construction sites for potential breeding sites.
The Punjab Health Department announced a mass door‑to‑door survey across Mohali aimed at locating potential dengue hotspots. Health workers equipped with questionnaires are visiting households to record any cases of fever, identify standing water sources, and educate residents on preventive measures.
Simultaneously, a team of officials is conducting inspections at active construction sites within the city. The inspections focus on eliminating stagnant water in excavations, ensuring proper drainage, and enforcing compliance with municipal health guidelines.
Authorities have warned that any site found violating anti‑mosquito protocols may face penalties, and they are coordinating with the Mohali Municipal Corporation to expedite remedial actions. The combined effort seeks to curb the rise in dengue cases reported in recent weeks.
The survey is expected to run for several weeks, after which the department will compile the data to target vector control operations more effectively.
