I am happy to know that the Andaman and Nicobar Administration is observing Anti-Dengue month during July 2013 to create awareness about vector borne diseases in general and Dengue in particular.

Mass participation along with active co-operation of various Government Departments and voluntary agencies is essential to achieve overall reduction of Dengue in the Islands.

I appeal to all the people, Government Departments, Municipal Council, PRIs, voluntary organisations, mahila mandals etc., to extend their wholehearted support to the Directorate of Health Services in observing Anti-Dengue month in order to fulfill the objectives of curtailing Dengue and other vector borne diseases.

Lt. Gen (Retd) Bhopinder Singh

Lieutenant Governor

Andaman & Nicobar Islands
