Cleaning campaign to be launched from September 3
Gearing up to prevent breeding of the dengue causing aedes aegypti mosquito during the monsoon, the district administration has ordered a three-day mass cleaning campaign to weed out breeding sources across the district from September 3. Disclosing this at a coordination meeting, Jayashree Muralidharan, Collector, said the campaign would be taken up by local bodies, including the Tiruchirapalli City Corporation to remove the garbage and discarded plastic cups, tyres, flower pots, and other containers where rainwater could stagnate providing a breeding ground for the mosquitoes.
All drinking water overhead tanks across the district would be cleaned during the exercise.
