Islamabad: Deputy Commissioner Irfan Nawaz Memon chaired a weekly dengue review meeting, where officials reported the detection of dengue larvae at 650 different locations within the ICT. 

The DC issued directives to the Assistant Commissioners (ACs) to take punitive action against all commercial establishments where positive dengue larvae were found, specifically targeting owners of nurseries, under-construction buildings, and hotels.

An FIR has already been registered against one individual. In the coming weeks, this operation will expand to include factories, tire shops, and private schools.

The DC urged citizens to actively participate in dengue prevention efforts by maintaining cleanliness and preventing water accumulation on their premises, including homes, shops, businesses, and official buildings.

“Community involvement is crucial in our fight against dengue. Everyone must ensure that their surroundings are free from stagnant water,” he stated.
