A synthetic para-thrai medicine is being sprayed in Sakarwara and Ramnagar panchayats of Gayghat block, Muzaffarpur district, to prevent Kala-azar. This campaign aims to control the disease in areas where Kala-azar cases have been reported.

Dr. N.G. Rabbani, the in-charge medical officer, held a meeting with health workers on Tuesday evening around 4 PM to review the spraying campaign. He stated that spraying is being carried out on a priority basis in Kala-azar-affected panchayats. Currently, the work is ongoing in Sakarwara panchayat, after which the campaign will move to Ramnagar panchayat.

Dr. Rabbani strictly instructed the personnel involved in the spraying work that no house should be left out during the campaign. He emphasized ensuring that the medicine is sprayed in all houses according to the prescribed standards. He also appealed to the villagers to allow health workers to spray the synthetic para-thrai medicine in their homes. He stressed that spraying is crucial for Kala-azar prevention and urged villagers to cooperate with the health department to make this campaign successful.
