Imphal, August 04 2017:
The Kshetrigao BJP Mandal in association with the Imphal East District Malaria Office launched a 15-day programme of spraying larvicide for the prevention of vector borne diseases like malaria, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue at Ksetrigao Kendra today.
The programme was inaugurated by the Ksetrigao Kendra MLA Nahakpam Indrajit by spraying in his own house.
He said that this programme has been launched because of the rise in the cases of vector borne diseases after the recent flood.
He appealed to the people to keep their backyards clean and not to let water stagnate anywhere.
When water stagnates, it becomes the breeding ground for the mosquitoes which spread diseases like malaria, dengue and japanese encephalitis and efforts must be given to prevent it, he added.
