In parallel, 370 students engaged in three morning rallies in Karave, Shiravane, and Ghansoli between 7:30 and 9:00 AM, using banners and slogans to raise awareness.
To raise awareness and engage outpatient visitors, street dramas were staged in the public hospitals in Nerul, Vashi, and Airoli. Students from Dr. D.Y. Patil Nursing College also performed at Ryan International School in Nerul, teaching younger pupils through hands-on activities.
Additionally, to further inform guests about mosquito-borne illnesses, a special awareness camp is being hosted at the CIDCO Exhibition Centre from April 25 to 27 in connection with the international conference of the Maharashtra State Radiologists Association.
By covering water storage containers and clearing debris and standing water sources from terraces and adjacent areas, residents can actively contribute to disease prevention, according to NMMC Commissioner Dr. Kailas Shinde.
He emphasized that mosquitoes breed in clean, stagnant water, often found in household settings, and said collective efforts are essential in combating the spread of malaria and dengue.
