Municipal Corporation teams carry out fogging in two wards of twin cities
Municipal Corporation, Yamunanagar-Jagadhri (MCYJ), is carrying out fogging in two wards every day to prevent mosquito-borne diseases in the areas falling under the MCYJ.
Under this series, the teams of the MCYJ carried out fogging in Ward No. 7 of zone-I and in Ward No. 22 of zone-II on Saturday.
“Teams have been formed under the supervision of chief sanitary inspectors (CSI) Harjeet Singh and Sunil Dutt in zone-I and zone-II of the MCYJ, respectively. The teams are carrying out fogging work every day in one ward each in both zones, so that the areas under the jurisdiction of the MCYJ can be rid of mosquito-borne diseases like dengue, malaria, chikungunya, among other,” said Dr Vijay Pal Yadav, Deputy Municipal Commissioner of the MCYJ.
He said that both zones had two big machines and 12 small machines to undertake the fogging work.
“Fogging is being done on main roads and wide streets of the colonies by placing the big machines in utility vehicles. However, in the narrow streets of the colonies and villages, the fogging is being done using small machines by placing them on motorcycles,” said Dr Vijay Pal Yadav.
According to information, the fogging was done in various areas of Ward No. 7 including Sector 18 in Jagadhri on Saturday under the supervision of CSI Harjeet Singh.
Similarly, the fogging work was done in Ward No. 22 of zone-II under the supervision of CSI Sunil Dutt.
Dr Vijay Pal Yadav further said that on the instructions of Municipal Commissioner Ayush Sinha, fogging work was being done in every ward.
“Oil and medicines are being poured where it is difficult to drain out stagnant water, so that mosquito larvae don’t grow in accumulated water,” said Dr Yadav.
He also urged the city residents not to let water accumulate around them.
