‘Cleanliness crucial to prevent dengue’
Dengue prevention is of paramount importance and people’s involvement will consolidate the efforts of the government agencies in Karur, District Collector S. Jayandhi said here on Wednesday.
Speaking after flagging off a dengue prevention awareness rally by girl students, Ms. Jayandhi said that public must ensure that garbage did not gather in residential localities as that would cause dengue-spreading mosquitoes to proliferate. Listing the dos and don’ts of dengue prevention, Ms. Jayandhi wanted everybody to exercise vigil against dengue through proper hygiene and cleanliness. Stating that the local bodies, including the Karur and Kulithalai municipalities, town panchayats, and village panchayats were involved in containing the menace, the Collector pointed out that the dengue prevention efforts would continue until December.
