Telangana is facing a sharp increase in chikungunya and dengue cases as mosquitoes grow increasingly resistant to traditional control measures. Health officials are raising concerns about the rising virulence of the viruses responsible for these diseases, making it a significant public health challenge.
This year, Telangana has reported approximately 152 more chikungunya cases than in previous years, indicating a troubling trend. Experts have noted that the commonly used method of fogging is becoming less effective in controlling mosquito populations.
