The Municipal Corporation of Dehradun (MCD) started the two-day special sanitisation campaign in Dehradun city on Saturday. On the first day, the task was conducted in 50 of the 100 wards under the MCD.
Using 56 tractors/tankers and four fire tenders, one per cent sodium hypochlorite solution was sprayed at the main roads and various wards of the city. According to MCD, about 3.10 lakh sanitiser solution was sprayed in the city on Saturday.
The mayor Sunil Uniyal ‘Gama’ and municipal commissioner Vinay Shankar Pandey also inspected the sanitisation.
They appealed the public to observe the guidelines issued by the Central and State Governments, and remain indoors unless necessary to go out. It will be recalled that the state government had ordered a closure in Dehradun on Saturday and Sunday and directed an elaborate sanitisation campaign on these two days to minimise the risk of further Covid-19 contagion.
