A five-year-old girl in Tirupattur town died of dengue fever, prompting the district administration to intensify preventive measures including fogging, clearing stagnated water in abandoned spots in the affected area on Thursday.
Health officials said that the victim, identified as M. Abinidhi, was a Class one student in a private school at Shivarajpettai within Tirupattur municipality limits. She was admitted to a private hospital in Krishnagiri on September 23 due to high fever by her father K. Manikandan. She was treated and discharged from the hospital. The family returned to Tirupattur town a few days ago.
