    Advisory on prevention, control of vector-borne diseases issued

    After three fresh cases of dengue have been reported in the last one week in Delhi, taking the tally to 55, according to a civic report released on Monday, Commissioner SDMC Gyanesh Bharti has issued advisory on prevention and control of vector borne diseases in Delhi.  He has called for prevention of mosquito breeding at source and made it clear that the reduction in breeding is the only effective tool for prevention and control of these diseases.

    Save community journalism by paying Rs 500, 1,000 and more.

    He asked all the HODs of various agencies including DMRC, DJB, DDA, Delhi Police, PWD, CPWD to nominate the nodal officers to ensure preventive measures.

    The Commissioner said this year, there is a need to concentrate more on educational institutes colleges and schools as they were closed due to corona crisis and now they are reopening.

    The designated nodal officer of these institutes must ensure that there is no artificial water collection in open grounds, roofs of buildings, flower pots etc.

    Also, overhead tanks should be emptied, covered and locked. Unused vehicles like school/college buses should be covered and parked in covered spaces to prevent water collection inside, he said.

    He has requested all the heads of all agencies to ensure that overhead and other water tanks/containers are kept properly covered with lid and overflow pipe/air vent are covered with wire mesh. Collection of stagnant water should not be allowed inside or around office premises and if the same does take place a little quantity of kerosene/petrol/ diesel may be put in   such stagnant wastewater collection. Unused/broken bottles, plastic cups, pots and tyres etc. that can hold water should not be left in the open.

    He has also requested the heads of offices to nominate their nodal officers to ensure compliance of advisory and proper prevention and control of waterborne diseases by eliminating breeding of mosquitoes across their complex.

    He has also mentioned that the Delhi Municipal Corporation by laws 1975 on Malaria and other vector borne diseases provides for an action on failure to take specified prevented measures.  The failure is punishable.

    On detection of repeated breeding, besides legal notice, challan, Police complaint may be lodged under section 269 of Indian Penal Code. Bharti has called upon RWAs, Market Association and general public to take preventive measures failing which the outbreak of dengue and chikungunya may become uncontrollable.

    He has sent advisory to all offices of Central, State Govts, CPWD, PWD, DDA, Delhi Police, Delhi Jal Board, DMRC. Registrars of all universities and deemed universities in Delhi, all associations of professionals and all associations of Traders/Chambers of Commerce.
