South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) Mayor Kamaljeet Sehrawat has asked all stakeholders to leave no stone unturned in controlling the incidents of vector-borne disease in all localities under the jurisdiction of the civic body.
Cracking the whip on the officers for passing the buck instead of putting efforts to control the preventable diseases such as Dengue, Malaria and Chikungunya, SDMC Mayor Sehrawat warned officers of strict action in the event of negligence being reported.
The Mayor has also directed public health department and agencies involved in the cleaning of small and big drains to intensify their efforts and avoid their usual habit of shifting responsibilities.
“The role of the domestic breeding checkups (DBCs) is of paramount importance and there is an absolute need of working in tandem.
She expressed satisfaction over not finding new cases of dengue and malaria in areas falling under SDMC jurisdiction, in a report released by municipal body on Monday.
The SDMC Commissioner Dr Puneet Kumar Goel would review the work one by one, assigned to the departments and agencies for making the efforts of the agencies concerned in order to make SDMC the first vector borne diseases free civic body.
