Dengue awareness programme

Staff Reporter

A video on dengue awareness was played to create awareness among the Tiruchengode Municipal councillors at the council meeting on Tuesday. Some of the councillors suggested that the video be played in schools, residential areas and in the street corners to create awareness among the people. The councillors also suggested that saplings could be planted near the over head water tanks so that the overflowing water could beautify the place.

Some councillors urged the Municipality to pass a resolution to construct a swimming pool in the town under the Tamil Nadu Government’s Self Sufficiency Scheme (SSS). Councillors also made a suggestion that conservancy workers will inform the respective ward councillors before they cleaned drainages and collected garbage.
