Reports say a large number of people are afflicted with various diseases like digestion problems, food poisoning, diarrhea and other ailments because of viral infections. As per medical experts most of viruses and bacteria are activated in the rainy season, and ailments caused by them can be prevented with proper sanitation facilities.

Our teams are also checking different markets and commercial sites in order to take strict action against those who violate sanitation rules".
