Ghaziabad Dengue Malaria Prevention: Fines Begin, Notices Issued to Five Residents

2 min read

Ghaziabad | September 27, 2025 – Authorities in Ghaziabad have started imposing fines to curb the spread of dengue and malaria after repeated warnings failed.

On Saturday, five residents were served notices for failing to clean coolers, ACs, and flowerpots where mosquito larvae were found. If breeding is detected again during re-inspection after 24 hours, fines will be issued immediately.

District Malaria Officer G.K. Mishra confirmed that over the next ten days, action is planned against more than 500 households in vulnerable areas. Teams have been instructed to increase surveys in high-risk localities.

Health officials reported five fresh dengue cases and one new malaria case on Saturday. The cases were traced to Raj Nagar Extension, Muradnagar, Defence Colony, Akbarpur Behrampur, and Kaushalnagar, where a five-year-old child also tested positive.

With these, Ghaziabad’s tally stands at 146 dengue and 79 malaria cases this year. Six patients are admitted in hospitals, including four at MMG Hospital’s special dengue ward.

To strengthen response, the health department has planned fever clinics at over 1,000 ASHA workers’ homes. These will stock PCM tablets, ORS, iron and calcium supplements, and dengue-malaria rapid test kits. Ambulance services will be linked for emergency referrals.
