Health authorities in Arunachal Pradesh have released a public health advisory in response to an increase in acute febrile illness cases within the Itanagar Capital Region.

Dengue, a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes, is characterized by symptoms like high fever, severe headache, and joint pain.
Residents are strongly advised to eliminate potential mosquito-breeding grounds by clearing stagnant water and ensuring water containers are covered. Protective measures include wearing full-sleeved clothing, using mosquito nets, and employing repellents. The Itanagar Municipal Corporation has also appealed for cooperation in clearing drains and applying larvicides to prevent disease spread.
