A. Chloroquine, the traditional anti-malaria drug, is already out of radar because of drug resistance. We are now using artemisinin-based combination therapy. Barring a few small regions, it
has not met the same fate as Chloroquine. But, we may not rule out the eventuality completely. Therefore, the best way is to prevent it. Besides spraying, a lot of insistence is now being
given on insecticide-laden nets that the government is distributing in more malaria-prone states. The coverage of these nets has to go up.
