Delhi MCD Commissioner Calls for Joint Action Against Diseases
The MCD Commissioner wants to stop the spread of diseases carried by mosquitoes.
He's asking different city departments to work together and keep things clean.
This means checking for places where mosquitoes lay eggs and teaching people how to prevent mosquito bites.
They'll do this by visiting homes, using schools, and putting out information in the media, especially before the rainy season when these diseases are most common.
Everyone needs to help!
MCD Commissioner Ashwani Kumar emphasized joint efforts to prevent vector-borne diseases.
The meeting aimed to strategize against mosquito-borne illnesses during the monsoon season.
Kumar urged inter-departmental cooperation, cleanliness drives, and public awareness.
Schools were advised to use parent-teacher meetings and encourage students to participate in preventive activities.
An intensified door-to-door campaign by Domestic Breeding Checkers (DBCs) was called for.
