Creating awareness among
individuals, communities is essential to bring dengue situation under control. Local government
bodies must ensure proper waste disposal, drainage and disposing of unused containers to reduce
mosquito breeding grounds. Effective mosquito control measures, including the use of insecticides

commissions and city corporations is vital to the success of dengue prevention efforts. They can
