With monsoon providing much needed respite from the summer heat, the city greets rainfall with much cheer.
Gurugram, July 16, 2019: Monsoon is a time for enjoying the rainfall and light cool breeze, with a hot cup of tea and some lip smacking snacks. However, with heavy rain falls comes a host of problems in the cities- be it waters logging, floods or a host of infections.
“Some of the most common diseases which surface strongly this monsoon are vector borne. Diseases like dengue, chikungunya and malaria, spike during this season as cooler weather and water stagnation creates conditions suitable for breeding of mosquitoes. It is important to identify various breeding spots in the city and treat them timely to prevent a possible outbreak of diseases” said Dr. P. Venkata Krishnan, Internal Medicines, Paras Hospital.
