Moreover, health officer Debabrata Dutta stressed the importance of following dengue prevention guidelines. He directed the Puja committees to increase awareness and vigilance against dengue. Puja committees have also been directed to put up banners in mandaps (pandals) and give information about dengue prevention to the visitors and make announcements through microphones.
