An awareness campaign on prevention of dengue was inaugurated by D. Parimala Devi, Dean and Special Officer of Pudukottai Government Medical College and Hospital here at the Ranee’s Government Maternity Hospital here on Wednesday.
She asked the medical and para-medical personnel attached to the hospital to ensure immediate and prompt treatment to those reporting with symptoms of dengue.

Clearing of waste plastics, coconut shells and old tyres would go a long way in checking breeding of mosquitoes.
