The Tiruchi Corporation has taken up preventive measures in all areas falling within the city limit to check cholera and other contagious diseases, said Commissioner V.P.Thandapani.
Instructions have been given to sanitary inspectors to spray chemicals in areas where public gathered in large numbers such as central bus stand, chathram bus stand, Gandhi Market, daily markets, fish and meat markets to check mosquito menace and remove garbage from those areas time- to–time, Mr.Thandapani said at a meeting held with civic body health officials here recently.
Treatment for diarrhoea
The Corporation was in the process of collecting addresses of those undergoing treatment for diarrhoea in hospitals falling within the city in order to inspect the areas and improve sanitary works in those places, he said.
Steps were also being taken to
provide protected drinking water to the residents and check mixing of
sewage water in drinking water. The civic body was also ensuring the
level of chlorine in drinking water before supplying to the residents,
