The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is set to launch a special initiative starting October 3 to conduct anti-larvae operations aimed at preventing chikungunya outbreaks.

GHMC Commissioner Amrapali Kara has instructed officials to carry out surveys throughout the Greater Hyderabad area.

She emphasized the need for anti-larval treatments and fogging in neighborhoods with reported chikungunya cases, focusing on 50-100 homes in those areas.
