Dengue Cases Increase in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda District, Authorities Respond
Doda district in Jammu and Kashmir is experiencing a rise in dengue cases, with over 190 laboratory-confirmed hospitalizations reported at Government Medical College Doda. This surge, unusual for the traditionally less-prone mountainous region, has prompted a five-member team from the Indian Council of Medical Research and National Institute of Virology to investigate hotspots and collect samples. Local health officials attribute the outbreak partly to water accumulation from recent rains near construction sites, leading to mosquito breeding. Authorities are conducting drainage, spraying, and fogging to control the spread.
