The Gampaha Regional Directorate of Health Services (RDHS), in collaboration with local urban councils, mobilized rapid-response vector control teams across Katunayake, Seeduwa, and Ja-Ela today, September 22, 2026.

Following intense intermittent monsoon showers, public health inspectors (PHIs) conducted door-to-door premises inspections and targeted thermal fogging operations in high-density residential and industrial zones. Health officials urged factory managers and homeowners to clear roof gutters and discard stagnant water receptacles, highlighting that sustained community surveillance is essential to suppressing dengue transmission rates throughout the wet season.
