more-inSouth Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) Mayor Kamaljeet Sehrawat on Monday launched an app that will allow mosquito-control staff to effectively collect data on dengue and chikungunya. The app will also help in organising data on 16 vulnerable areas, fines issued and fogging. The civic body officials said the app would come loaded on tablets, which the DBCs would carry with them during inspections. It was also suggested that women DBCs be recruited to gain easy accessibility inside houses. Since in most houses women stay alone during the day, they do not allow male DBCs to enter their houses for inspections due to safety reasons.
