Health and Family Welfare Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu today launched the state-level National Deworming Day (NDD) campaign at a government senior secondary school in Bakarpur village in Mohali.
The minister said all children in the age group of 1-19 years would be administered Albendazole tablets free of cost during the drive. He said children who could not be dewormed due to absenteeism or sickness would be given the tablet on September 1.
