Some medical specialists who were at the Municipal Council complex in Abohar today to hold a free check-up camp there were in for a shock. They found that dirty water was accumulated around the offices of the civic body’s president, executive officer and Town Hall, which is used to conduct meetings and government functions.

Even some visitors said the algae in the water indicated that no efforts were made in the past few days to clean the choked internal sewerage and the conditions were conducive for the spread of dengue. Interestingly, the council has so far not complied with instructions of the state government for taking steps to prevent dengue that had spread last year in some colonies here.

The MC had requested the Health Department to organise a special camp today. During the camp, about 178 clerical staff and sanitation workers were examined, free laboratory test facilities were also offered.

Dengue prevention officials Tehal Singh and Bharat Sethi minced no words in pulling up the sanitation inspector over the sad situation. They said a notice would be served as the complex had an unhygienic environment.

Notably, the state government is yet to appoint a regular Executive Officer here for the past one year even as Abohar is the largest town in Fazilka.
