Maybe there are several reasons for this year’s rise, officials said, the main extended rainy season.

This year, the rain fell to almost September.
This leads to water accumulation and mosquito breeding,” said Rajesh Sharma, district malaria officers.
He added that many people remained indoors because of the lumbers last year.
Also, the general level of cleanliness is higher due to repeated drive sanitization.
All of this helped control mosquito breeding, which resulted in fewer cases last year, he said.
More officers said: “Mosquitoes that transmit malaria can breed in a little muddy or dirty water, which is why it is more common.
People must be very careful because they do not allow water to be collected near homes, parks and public areas.” Malaria is a viral disease borne by a vector caused by mosquito bites.
