The district administration has begun block-wise medical camps to coordinate with the fever cases recorded in various government hospitals, as part of dengue prevention measures.
Ahead of the north-east monsoon, fever prevention and mitigation measures have been initiated in the district. According to Collector S. Dhivyadarshini, dengue prevention measures were being jointly undertaken by the Department of Public Health and the local bodies.
Six health inspectors were overseeing the collating of information that includes the names and addresses of in-patients and out-patients at the government hospitals, and the various primary health centres with complaints of fever. The list is shared with the eight blocks and the local bodies.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
