    Health tips during monsoon

    While monsoons provide respite from the scorching heat of summer, they also heighten the risk of contracting diseases like dengue fever and malaria.

    Stagnant water left by the rains serves as a breeding ground for disease-carrying mosquitoes.

    Drinking boiled or purified water is crucial during the monsoon season to avoid waterborne illnesses such as cholera or typhoid fever.
