The Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) administration has intensified its anti-dengue campaign, carrying out fogging operations in different neighbourhoods to prevent the spread of the mosquito-borne virus.
The drive is being implemented in phases, with teams focusing on areas where dengue risk is higher due to stagnant water and thick vegetation. The latest round of fogging has covered residential sectors including Sectors G-8 and G-9, where field teams moved street by street to ensure thorough spraying. Officials said the campaign is not limited to one part of the city and will gradually be extended to all urban and suburban zones.
Health department representatives explained that the fogging operation is designed to eliminate adult mosquitoes before they multiply further. They added that this effort is part of a broader strategy that also includes awareness sessions, inspections of houses and removal of water collection points.
District administration officers emphasised that the programme is being carried out with close coordination between health teams, municipal staff and community workers. According to them, sectors where recent dengue cases were reported or where mosquito breeding is likely are being prioritised.
Residents have been urged to cooperate by keeping their surroundings clean, covering water containers and avoiding the accumulation of rainwater.
