In Lahore, the early morning weather is also pleasant, with the wind starting to blow across the city. The Met Department has issued a forecast for rain today, prompting local authorities to take precautionary measures.
The deputy commissioner of Lahore has issued alerts to the Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) and the Metropolitan Corporation Lahore (MCL), advising citizens to avoid unnecessary outings during the rain to ensure safety.
However, the monsoon rains have also increased the risk of dengue in the city. Yesterday, two new cases of dengue were reported, raising concerns about the spread of the disease. Additionally, over 300 locations were reported to have accumulated water, which can serve as breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
Authorities are urging residents to take necessary precautions to protect themselves from dengue and to stay indoors as much as possible during the rain to prevent any further spread of the disease.
