GHMC entomology wing put on alert
GHMC Commissioner M.T. Krishna Babu on Monday has asked
the entomology wing to be more vigilant in the coming days as the months
of September and October record a spurt in water, air and vector-borne
diseases.
He also gave the go-ahead for the
procurement of four fogging machines required by the wing. On complaints
about errant workers, Mr. Krishna Babu directed the officials to take
action against them and cut salary for their absence.
He
also directed officials to set up display boards at graveyards, asking
the public to get the names of the deceased registered with the
caretaker there. This would facilitate the issue of death certificates
without difficulty.
Observing that restaurants and
bars were coming up in residential localities, the Commissioner sought
special drives to seize them and cancel trade licences issued earlier,
if any.
He said only 87 schools had registered for
the clay and blocks required for preparing Green Ganesh idols. Mr.
Krishna Babu directed Additional Commissioner (Health and Sanitation) L.
Vandan Kumar to personally monitor with all the medical officers
towards convincing school managements.
