Marking the eighth week of the ‘10 Hafte 10 Baje 10 Minute’ anti-dengue campaign, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal checked for accumulated water at home to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes at his residence.
This week of the anti-dengue campaign garners support from celebrities such as Shankar Mahadevan, who will be encouraging the citizens of Delhi to religiously follow the dengue prevention guidelines such as inspecting their residences for signs of stagnant water, draining the accumulated water or adding a layer of oil/petrol to it to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes.
Last year, similar cooperation and support from prominent celebrities such as veteran cricketer Virender Sehwag and others had made the campaign of the Delhi government a huge success.
This year as well the campaign seeks to engage several celebrities and social media influencers, to take part in the campaign by recording themselves following the good practices advised during the campaign and share the content for the people through various channels.
The participation by Shankar Mahadevan has encouraged lakhs of Delhiites to follow the dengue prevention guidelines.
Kejriwal had also said that with the collective efforts of all the Delhiites, "we have to stop the breeding of dengue mosquitoes and protect our family and the entire Delhi from Dengue."
Taking to social media, Kejriwal tweeted, "On the 8th Sunday of Delhi's fight against Dengue, I inspected my house for accumulated water and changed it. To prevent Dengue, we have to stop the breeding of mosquitoes. Just like last year, dengue is under control in National Capital. Delhi is defeating dengue for the second consecutive year."
