An army of millions of mosquito killer fish has been bred to counter dengue in Punjab with more than 2.3 million tilapia fish being released in ponds and lakes in different districts.
Dengue fever in the province has witnessed a surge with the number of patients rising to 1,388, according to the data released by the Islamabad District House Officer’s office.
In addition to the health department, the Punjab fisheries department plays an active role in the prevention of dengue and has bred 2.3 million tilapia fish this year to eliminate dengue larvae.
Fisheries experts say the tilapia is a small fish that was considered a symbol of rebirth in ancient Egypt. In modern times, scientists are working on using this fish against mosquitos that carry diseases like dengue and malaria.
Director-General of Punjab Fisheries Dr Sikandar Hayat told The Express Tribune about the three methods of controlling dengue.

The Digital South Punjab Road Show will visit 15+ locations in South Punjab over the course of 10 days, including activities like mentoring sessions, seminars, meetups, panels, inspirational talks, success stories, and award distributions.
The goal is to make South Punjab a more desirable place to live and work so that unemployment may be reduced and technical progress can continue.

A warden issues a digital traffic ticket to a motorcyclist for not wearing helmet on The Mall.
LAHORE: Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Dr Assad Malhi on Tuesday formally launched digital challan system to replace the decades-old manual arrangement of imposing fine on traffic violators in the city here on Tuesday.
It was launched as a pilot project on The Mall and will be extended gradually to the rest of the city after assessing its results.
Dr Assad Malhi told Dawn that initially the digital challaning has been launched on major sections of The Mall 1, The Mall 2 and The Mall 3, the busiest artery of the provincial capital.
He said digital challan would eliminate complaints of fake and bogus challans and ensure transparency.
In this respect, he said, a specially designed App has been downloaded in mobile phones of the traffic wardens and the citizens will receive a challan message.
“By entering the vehicle number or ID card in the App, all the information will be auto-filled”, Dr Assad said.
He said the digital mobile phone App has been associated/linked with various respective government departments.
They included excise and taxation department, crime record office of the police, anti-vehicle lifting squad, route permit department and the fitness certificate database management.
“Most importantly, the new digital system of the traffic police would help the Punjab police to access the [criminal] record of the drivers and the vehicles”, he said.
The CTO Lahore said on making entering of national identity card of the traffic violator, the wardens would get access to their criminal background.
“In case a warden finds the criminal background of the traffic violator, he will immediately call the police to get him/her arrested from the spot”, Dr Assad said.
The successful implementation of the digital system would help eliminate the crime, he said adding that the newly-launched system would also be helpful in budget reduction in the future.
Like, he said, the Punjab government was bearing hefty expenses on the printing of the challan books every year.
“Now there will be no need to allocate the budget for the challan books,” he said.
On an average every year, the Punjab government was allocating Rs12 million budget under the head of printing of the challan books for Lahore alone.
Similarly, for five major cities including Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, and Gujranwala, the government was bearing average annual expenses to the tune of Rs32m, the CTO said.
To a question, he said the digital challan system had already been enforced in many districts of the province.
