Fogging drive in Chandigarh schools

The Municipal Corporation has undertaken a comprehensive fogging drive across government and private schools in the city to ensure the safety and hygiene of students and staff. The drive is part of the MC’s ongoing efforts to prevent the spread of vector-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria and chikungunya, especially during the monsoon season.

The fogging operations were carried out in classrooms, playgrounds, corridors, and other high-risk areas. Special attention was given to areas where stagnant water could become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. The drive was coordinated in close collaboration with school managements to minimise disruption to academic activities.

MC Commissioner Amit Kumar stated that the health and well-being of students was a priority. He urged school authorities and parents to take preventive measures, including keeping the surroundings clean and ensuring there is no water accumulation.
