Dengue larvae Rawalpindi found in a private lab has prompted urgent action from health authorities, highlighting risks of mosquito breeding indoors and underscoring the need for swift preventive measures to contain dengue.
Authorities in Rawalpindi have detected dengue larvae in a private laboratory, raising concerns about mosquito breeding in enclosed spaces.
The District Health Office informed that following the discovery, immediate inspections were ordered to assess other nearby facilities and homes. Officials emphasized that stagnant water — even in small containers or improperly covered drums — can become breeding grounds.
In response, health teams have intensified their surveillance and urged residents to maintain strict hygiene, cover water storage properly, and report any areas where water pools may accumulate. Government agencies also called for private labs and institutions to adhere to anti-dengue protocols without delay.
Prompt action from authorities is seen as critical to prevent an outbreak, especially given monsoon-related rains increasing risk across Rawalpindi.
