Dengue: SDMC steps up drive, video campaign on TV, theatres

Published on: 

The South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) has started a video campaign to spread awareness on prevention of vector-borne diseases with clips of the same being shown even in cinema halls.

The campaign titled 'Dilli Bajayegi Taali' is to complement the efforts undertaken by the civic body to build awareness on ways and methods to prevent dengue and chikungunya.

"The video message has been well received by residents. The clips are also being run in theatres under the jurisdiction of the civic body," a senior SDMC official said.

"Distribution of handbills through newspaper vendors has been done in all four zones. The SDMC has also taken an initiative to distribute handbills to morning walkers in parks in addition to door-to-door campaign through dengue breeding checkers (DBCs)," he said.
