With dengue affecting Hyderabad and a number of cases reported from across the city day after day, Mahesh Babu has chipped in with suitable advice. Taking to Twitter, the superstar has appealed to everyone to maintain hygiene in the surroundings to keep oneself safe.

"Dengue and viral fever has become an epidemic in the city. Do an extra bit in keeping your premises and neighborhood free from water stagnation. Be vigilant and take care of yourself, Hyderabad," the 'Sarileru Neekevvaru' actor wrote.

Mahesh plugged an awareness message by IT Minister KTR. "To prevent the viral fevers and the menace that dengue has become, request each of you to inspect your homes for stagnant water points; flower pots, air coolers and water bodies; all breeding grounds for mosquitoes," the message read.
