KMC Initiates Clean-Up Drive to Prevent Mosquito Breeding
The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) is starting a project to clean up trash and standing water from empty buildings and land.
They are doing this because the recent rain has caused these places to become spots where mosquitoes can breed and spread diseases like dengue fever.
The KMC will warn owners who don't keep their properties clean.
If they don't listen, the city might fine them.
Officials are sending notices to owners to clean up the areas within three days, or the city will do it and charge them.
This effort focuses on areas where there are many abandoned houses to help make the city safer.
KMC is undertaking a drive to clear garbage and stagnant water.
The aim is to prevent mosquito breeding and the spread of dengue.
Notices will be issued to property owners with 72-hour cleanup deadlines.
Failure to comply may result in fines.
