Dhar (Madhya Pradesh): An anti-malaria campaign was launched at Lal Bagh Complex, Dhar on Wednesday.

Addressing the campaign, Raghuvanshi said that, due to the onset of monsoon, there will be an increase in the breeding of mosquitoes.

This campaign will be run throughout the month among the public by the antimalarial activists.

If results come out to be positive, then take immediate treatment followed by proper diet and sleep. the administration proposes to spray insecticide in 20 malaria-affected villages of the district in two cycles.

On this occasion, Dr Arpit Jain, Dr Arvind Khede, Tara Yadav, ANM/ASHA workers along with students of private nursing colleges were also present.
