Rawalpindi has initiated its annual anti-dengue campaign with a comprehensive plan for 2026, as reported by both ProPakistani and Tribune Latest. The district has been strategically divided into five sectors, seven zones, and 70 cluster centers, each managed by dedicated in-charges to enhance surveillance and response efforts. ProPakistani highlights that 'areas that reported dengue cases during the past three years have been declared hotspots,' emphasizing the targeted approach of the campaign. The government has approved the recruitment of 3,000 daily-wage male and female dengue workers to bolster manpower, and the leaves of current workers have been canceled to ensure readiness. However, there is some controversy over the decision not to provide mobile phones and internet facilities to 1,400 dengue workers, which could impact communication and coordination efforts.
