HYDERABAD : The three-day incessant rain that inundated several parts in the city has put the health officials on an alert for possible outbreak of water-borne diseases in the days to come. Since the city is already in the grip of vector-borne viral infections and the scare of chikungunya is running high for more than a month, authorities are worried at the risk of water contamination and large-scale health problem breaking out in the wake of rains. Once the rains ceased on Saturday, the health wing of Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad (MCH) decided to launch a door-to-door survey in vulnerable areas to check health conditions. Teams of ANMs were pressed into service and they were given Chloroquine, Paracetamol and other tablets for distribution in different localities. Apart from Government health institutions, even the private and corporate hospitals were being alerted. Advisories for general public were also being put out in the form of scrolls on television and slides in cinema houses.
