Fighting dengue: Panchkula MC readies fogging schedule

Panchkula, September 16

The Panchkula Municipal Corporation has accelerated the work to protect residents from diseases caused by mosquitoes.

On Saturday, the civic body carried out fogging in the city and also prepared a fogging schedule for the next 15 days.

MC Commissioner Sachin Gupta said fogging machines would be employed in every ward of Panchkula, and the outline for the exercise had been prepared by the corporation.

He said fogging was done in all societies of Mansa Devi Complex (MDC), Sector 5, today. He said the corporation had prepared a roadmap for fogging and in the next 15 to 20 days, the work would be completed in each ward of Panchkula.

Mayor Kulbhushan Goyal urged residents not to allow water to remain stagnant in and around their houses so that dengue mosquitoes did not breed there. Residents were also told to empty water collected in plastic plates kept under plant pots. Along with this, they were told to take care of themselves and preferably wear full-sleeved shirts to ward off mosquitoes.
