The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- District Health Surveillance Officer Ravi K.R. urged schools in Hirekerur to keep premises clean and prevent stagnant water to stop mosquito breeding.
- The official was speaking at a health awareness programme on vector-borne diseases held on Thursday for students of Morarji Desai and Kittur Rani Channamma residential schools.
- Students were told to use mosquito nets, follow health department guidelines, and contact health staff or doctors immediately if symptoms like fever, headache, or body ache appear.
- Two science teachers, Shivashankar Makanur and Lohith B, were appointed as nodal teachers for the two schools.
- The drive matters because residential schools can otherwise become breeding grounds for mosquito-borne diseases among children.
What to watch next
- Regular inspections of school premises to ensure no water logging
- Whether students report symptoms promptly to health staff
- Action by the newly appointed nodal teachers on sanitation
