Doctors on Friday held an awareness campaign in schools in the Chhattisgarh capital, advising students how to guard themselves against mosquitoes which can give denue and malaria.
In the rainy season, water can accumulate anywhere. The mosquitoes breed in such stagnant water, the doctors told the students.
The Community Medicine Department, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Medical College, Raipur, and the Chief Medical and Health Officer here jointly held the campaign.
On Friday, the sessions were held at the Government Higher Secondary School at Changorabhata and Mowa and the J. N. Pandey Multipurpose School, Raipur, an official communication said.
The best mode of prevention from mosquito bite is to wear full-sleeved clothes, the doctors said.
