MULTAN District administration decided to expedite dengue drive following rapid weather changing after top district officer expressed dissatisfaction over health department’s performance as the later had failed to chalk out exclusive measures to contain larva breeding. Deputy Commissioner Amir Khatak, while presiding over a special meeting called over to review ‘dengue situation’ here Wednesday took exception over health department’s role as ‘it is neglecting dengue breeding in the veil of corona pandemic’. He said it couldn’t hold proper surveillance of about 2800 hotspots of the larva being detected different parts of the district in the past.—APP
