# Health ministry, NDMC issue monsoon mosquito disease alerts 2026-08-08T06:46:28+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Union health ministry and New Delhi Municipal Council have issued separate advisories asking people to prevent mosquito breeding during the monsoon season. On Friday, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare shared tips on X urging citizens to empty water storage containers, wear full-sleeved clothes and use mosquito nets. NDMC launched a campaign against dengue, chikungunya and malaria, warning the public not to rely only on platelet count during dengue treatment and not to self-medicate. Both advisories stress removing stagnant water from coolers, flower pots and discarded tyres. NDMC also appealed to residents not to dump waste in open areas. The health ministry said even simple actions can reduce mosquito breeding, but the effort needs consistency at household and community levels. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in - millenniumpost.in Tags: dengue prevention, health advisory, MoHFW, Monsoon, mosquito-borne diseases, vector control Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mohfw-issues-monsoon-tips-to-prevent-mosquito-borne-diseases/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
