In response to the rising cases of dengue across Telangana, the state’s Health Minister has directed the establishment of control rooms in all districts to closely monitor the situation. The move comes as health authorities report an uptick in dengue cases, raising concerns about the spread of the mosquito-borne disease, particularly during the ongoing monsoon season.

The control rooms will serve as central hubs for real-time data collection, coordination, and response efforts related to dengue. These facilities will track the number of reported cases, ensure timely medical intervention, and facilitate the distribution of necessary resources, such as medical supplies and mosquito control measures, to affected areas.

The Health Minister emphasized the importance of early detection and treatment to prevent the disease from escalating into severe forms, which can be life-threatening. He also urged local health officials to intensify awareness campaigns, focusing on preventive measures such as eliminating stagnant water, using mosquito repellents, and ensuring that all households take precautions to reduce mosquito breeding grounds.

In addition to setting up control rooms, the Minister has instructed hospitals and clinics across the state to be on high alert and to ensure that adequate facilities and medical staff are available to treat dengue patients. Special teams have also been deployed to conduct door-to-door inspections and to educate the public on how to protect themselves from the disease.

The government’s proactive steps come at a crucial time as dengue cases typically surge during the monsoon, when the conditions are ideal for the breeding of Aedes mosquitoes, which are responsible for transmitting the virus. The Minister’s directives aim to prevent a major outbreak and to safeguard public health across Telangana.
