Following huge participation from the children of Delhi in the fifth week of the 10 Hafte 10 Baje 10 Minute anti-dengue campaign has entered into its sixth week.
The campaign this week seeks to encourage families to come together to defeat dengue by inspecting their houses every Sunday for 10 minutes for stagnant clean water and draining it.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said "We will stop the breeding of dengue mosquitoes with active participation and protect our family and all of Delhi from dengue," he added.
Last week, Kejriwal tweeted, "Delhi's campaign against dengue continues. Today, on the fifth Sunday of the campaign, I replaced the water at home and eliminated the possibility of breeding of dengue mosquitoes. I urge everyone to be a part of this campaign every Sunday. #10Hafte10Baje10 Minute Har Ravivaar, Dengue Par Vaar."
This year, the Delhi government has also launched a Dengue helpline - 01123300012 and WhatsApp helpline - 8595920530 to assist the general public with dengue.
