"national-deworming-day"

District Collector Anudeep Durishetty has instructed officials to prepare for the distribution of Albendazole tablets on August 11 across Khammam. Over 74,000 children in schools, hostels, and Anganwadi centres will be covered under the National Deworming Day programme

The deworming exercise is aimed at making children and adolescents free from parasitic stomach worms, which helps in overall growth.

Collector Rajiv Gandhi Hanumanthu has directed officials to ensure the distribution of deworming pills to individuals aged one to 19 years in the district on National Deworming Day, slated for February 10.
