New Delhi, June 1

A month-long campaign on combating vector-borne diseases was started by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Thursday, officials said.

Mayor Shelly Oberoi launched the ‘Dengue-Malaria Prevention Month’ campaign from ward number 86 of the Karol Bagh Zone of the MCD, they added.

Awareness programmes will now be conducted in each zone of the municipal body.

According to a municipal report issued on May 29, 74 cases of dengue and 23 cases of malaria have been reported in Delhi this year till May 27. Mayor Oberoi emphasised that the MCD is on “high alert” regarding vector-borne diseases, adding that the cooperation of citizens is crucial to prevent them.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
