Civic body organises street play to intensify dengue awareness

The Tiruchirapalli City Corporation organised a street play at Gandhi Market to create awareness on dengue fever among people on Wednesday.

A troupe from Bharathalaya, led by S. Sathiyan, explained the need for keeping houses and surroundings clean by preventing stagnation of water in utensils, flower pots, tyres, and coconut shells, through their play.

The artistes also explained the importance of hand washing and urged onlookers to avoid open defecation. The troupe members rendered folk songs to drive home their point. Mayor A. Jaya inaugurated the campaign.
