Islamabad has reported 24 new dengue cases within the last 24 hours, adding to growing concerns as the city faces an increase in mosquito-borne infections during the monsoon season. Health experts warn that the humid climate and frequent rains are creating ideal conditions for mosquito breeding, resulting in a steady rise in patients. Authorities have urged residents to remain cautious and adopt preventive measures such as covering water containers, wearing protective clothing, and using repellents. “The increase in cases is directly linked to the current weather pattern, which allows mosquitoes to reproduce rapidly,” officials explained. Hospitals across the capital are witnessing more admissions, but health facilities remain on alert to manage the growing caseload effectively.
Medical professionals emphasize that timely detection and treatment can help reduce the risk of complications. Citizens are advised to immediately seek medical help if they experience common symptoms like high fever, severe headache, nausea, body pain, or unusual bleeding. “Dengue is preventable, and public cooperation is key to limiting its spread,” a senior health representative stated. Alongside treatment preparedness, officials are conducting awareness campaigns to educate the public about the dangers of stagnant water and the importance of early intervention.
The city administration has also launched fumigation drives in residential areas, schools, and commercial centers to control mosquito density. However, health authorities caution that government action alone cannot fully eliminate the threat. They stressed that every household must contribute by keeping their surroundings clean and ensuring water does not collect in open spaces, rooftops, or containers. With the number of dengue cases gradually rising, officials continue to appeal for vigilance and strict adherence to preventive practices. The situation highlights the urgent need for both individual responsibility and collective effort to safeguard public health
