The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued an advisory warning of the potential spread of diseases caused by mosquitoes and seasonal insects during the monsoon.
According to the advisory, mosquitoes and other seasonal insects are carriers of dangerous viruses that can cause life-threatening illnesses.
Their bites may lead to a rise in cases of dengue fever, malaria, chikungunya, and other vector-borne diseases. The NDMA noted that globally, diseases spread by insect bites claim around one million lives each year.
The authority has urged the public to take preventive measures, including ensuring that rainwater does not accumulate in and around homes.
