In a significant move to strengthen Maharashtra’s fight against infectious diseases, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has announced the formation of a special task force aimed at controlling the spread of vector-borne illnesses such as malaria, dengue, and chikungunya. The initiative has received a strong response from Godrej Consumer Products, which has joined hands with the state’s Public Health Department and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) to implement a comprehensive, science-based strategy across the state.

The task force, established under the direct guidance of CM Fadnavis, is designed to coordinate efforts across multiple agencies, ensuring an integrated approach to disease prevention and control. This initiative marks a major step toward Maharashtra’s long-term goal of eliminating infectious diseases and protecting public health.
