To create an awareness among the people on dengue fever, a video was screened here on Friday.

The video explains breeding pattern of mosquitoes and way to prevent it. People should keep their houses clean, and dump garbage only in dustbins.

The video said that corporation workers will visit houses to spray mosquito repellents in water storage containers, and carry out fogging operations in each household.

Anyone suffering from fever should immediately be taken to a hospital for diagnosis. The video tells people not to panic, as adequate precautionary measures are being taken by health officials to prevent the spread of dengue fever.

The benefits of consuming Nilavembu Kashayam are also discussed. The vehicle would visit all wards to screen the video between 6 p.m. and 9.30 p.m.
