The District Medical Officer (DMO) has called for alert against water-borne diseases.
The possibility of spread of diarrhoeal illnesses, typhoid, and jaundice was more during the rainy season, a statement from the DMO said.
Only water that has been boiled and cooled should be used for drinking. Keep such water handy when venturing outside. Water and food should be kept covered always. Avoid water and food that is kept open and prepared in unhygienic conditions in roadside stalls.
