JMC Issues Comprehensive Health Advisory Amid Post-Flood Challenges
Jammu, Sept 6: In response to the pressing public health concerns following recent floods, Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) has issued a detailed advisory aimed at protecting residents from waterborne and vector-borne diseases. Key measures focus on mosquito control, sanitation, and public awareness.
Preventive Measures Against Mosquito-Borne Diseases
JMC officials emphasized the importance of eliminating stagnant water in rooftops, courtyards, and nearby drains, as these serve as ideal mosquito breeding grounds. Citizens have been strongly urged to maintain cleanliness and facilitate fogging efforts.
Helpline Activated for Immediate Support
The Health Department’s 104 helpline is now fully operational to offer guidance and address health-related queries from affected residents. This step ensures prompt dissemination of reliable health advice.
Fogging and Spraying Operations Intensified
To curb the spread of diseases, the JMC has ramped up fogging and spraying activity across all wards. Residents whose localities are yet to be covered can register their area and ward number via the JMC helpline for prioritized attention.
Collaborative Effort with Community Support
Expressing commitment to public health, Dr. Devansh Yadav emphasized JMC’s coordinated efforts involving sanitation teams, health workers, and support staff. He stressed that collective public cooperation is essential to safeguard wellness during the recovery phase.
