Launched by Chandigarh administrator, VP Singh Badnore, these applications list symptoms, causes and preventive measures for the three vector-borne diseases such as dengue, chikungunya and malaria.
An official spokesperson said that these mobile based applications have been developed by Dr Gaurav Aggarwal, Anti Malaria Officer and his team under the supervision of the Director Health Services in order to ensure transparency and have community participation.
