He said joint efforts by municipal institutions were essential to provide residents with a healthy environment. WSSC Kohat acting CEO Muhammad Saad Qureshi, Tehsil Municipal Officer Waqas Ali Shah and representatives of the Cantonment Board were present during the visit. The Commissioner stressed stronger coordination among the agencies to address public grievances swiftly. Reviewing the anti-dengue campaign, Shah visited workshops and other sensitive locations, warning owners and residents not to allow stagnant water to collect in tyres, tubs or containers-key breeding sites for dengue larvae. He ordered health and municipal departments to continue fumigation and spraying at homes, schools, graveyards and public areas.

He added that monitoring of anti-dengue measures was ongoing at the divisional level and that administrations, municipal bodies and health departments would work around the clock to provide a safe and healthy environment.
