Continuing its crackdown on breeding of mosquitoes in stagnant water, the district health department issued notice to the district hospital, Super Specialty Child Hospital and Post Graduate Institute and sector 39 police station on Saturday evening for allowing waterlogging on their premises. They have been asked to remove the stagnant water in three days. This is the third time in a week when the health department conducted surprise inspections and issued notices over stagnant water and mosquito breeding. Mosquitoes breeding in stagnant water are carriers of vector borne diseases such as dengue and chikungunya. “We will begin that drive from Wednesday after a video conferencing with senior officials of state health department,” said Sharma.
