Presiding over the Vector Borne Disease Control Society meeting his camp office recently Amrit Abhijat said a survey should be conducted in Shankargarh, Koraon and Bara areas to identify pits where rainwater gets collected.

These pits should be either filled with mud or insecticide sprinkled to stop mosquito breeding.
