Dengue Outbreak in Charsadda, KP Government’s Response Under Scrutiny
After the devastating floods, Charsadda is now facing a severe dengue outbreak, with reports suggesting nearly every household has been affected. Commissioner Peshawar Division Riaz Mehsud, along with DC Dr. Azmatullah Wazir and DHO Dr. Wasihullah, briefed on the measures being taken, including door-to-door spraying and medicine distribution.
The Commissioner claimed the outbreak would be controlled within a week, but locals remain unconvinced. Journalists from Mohammadzai Union raised concerns over the lack of MRI, CT scans, and specialist doctors at the District Headquarters Hospital, demanding immediate government action. Citizens argue that without proper facilities, government promises remain hollow.
