Jamshedpur officials intensify inspections and impose fines to combat rising dengue cases, with recent action taken in Kadma area.

JAMSHEDPUR – Jamshedpur Notified Area Committee (JNAC) fined a Kadma building Rs 10,000 after discovering dengue larvae during a surprise inspection.

Deputy Commissioner Ananya Mittal has ordered increased inspections and fines for locations harboring dengue larvae.

A JNAC team, led by Deputy Municipal Commissioner Krishna Kumar, conducted a surprise inspection in response to the directive.
