NEW DELHI: The state government’s anti-dengue campaign — 10 Hafte, 10 Baje, 10 Minute, Har Sunday Dengue Par Vaar — will see the participation of schoolchildren this week.
“Dear kids, get ready to fight dengue. Let’s do a 10-minute homework every Sunday to protect Delhi from dengue. For this, we need to check our homes and surrounding areas for any signs of stagnant water. If we do find water, let’s drain it, replace it regularly or cover it with a small layer of oil,” chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday.
“Let’s also call up our friends and ask them to take part in this campaign. Come, let’s save our Delhi from dengue,” he addded.
Like the previous year, the campaign will, each Sunday, see the cleaning of water accumulated in homes of every minister, MLA and officer.
Along with this, all Delhiites are being made aware of changing the water of their coolers, pots, etc, every week by joining the campaign through various mediums, the government said in a statement.
