SINGTAM, AUGUST 10: An awareness program on Dengue for the students' guardians was held today at Chisopani JHS. More than 30 parents were present on the occasion, which was attended by Mahesh Kr. Dahal, the Headmaster of the school, and his staff. The guardians were explained symptoms and preventive measures related to dengue.

In his welcome speech, Mahesh Kr. Dahal, Headmaster of Chisonai JHS, informed the gathered parents of the immediate and essential message-sharing session about the Dengue virus. Dahal went on to say that the Dengue Virus is spreading to our nearby regions, and we need to understand and share the message of getting prevented from this contagious disease.

Shital Pradhan, the primary teacher of the school, was the resource person for the occasion; Pradhan explained that female Aedes aegypti are responsible for the spread of Dengue illness. Pains in muscles and joints, fever, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, rashes on the body, and bleeding from the nose and gums are the symptoms of dengue. He added people can identify this particular mosquito with its black and white stripes on its body. It was further told that mosquitoes bite their victims, preferably at sunrise and sunset. Removal of stagnant water is the best way to prevent this disease.

An interaction session between guardians and school teachers was also held. The guardians appreciated the initiative taken by the school in organizing such a program that would encourage everybody to remain safe from the dengue disease.
