Madurai Authorities Intensify Fever Prevention Measures Amid Northeast Monsoon
Madurai city authorities have intensified preventive measures against fever outbreaks with the onset of the Northeast monsoon. Fogging is conducted twice daily across 100 wards, covering an eight-kilometre radius per vehicle. Fever camps have been held, and 1,200 workers provide basic health screenings. Officials cleared 13 metric tons of unused tyres and five tons of e-waste to reduce mosquito breeding. Residents are urged to keep surroundings dry, drink boiled water, and care for vulnerable groups, while awareness camps are planned in schools and colleges.
