If we find presence of larvae in any place, we kill it to forestall unfold of illnesses. We have detected huge larvae deposits in Gamangatti, Navalur and different puts all over our survey. Precautionary measures were initiated to disinfect the realm. Besides, IEC activities are being conducted to create consciousness among other folks.”
