In view of the increasing number of dengue patients in the city which has risen above 15 patients, the municipal commissioner Abhishek Ruhela has directed the health section of the Municipal Corporation of Dehradun (MCD) to keep a complete record of the fogging being done by the sanitation workers. Recently, many locals from different locations have approached the commissioner for regular fogging in their areas as a preventive measure against dengue as many stated that fogging is not being done in several areas of the city for weeks.
On the other hand, the officials of the health section have been claiming constantly that fogging is being done regularly across the city. According to them, the workers are carrying out regular fogging in areas like Indiranagar, Vasant Vihar and Seemadwar where most of the dengue patients have been found so far and fogging in other areas is being done in regular intervals. Due to this, Ruhela has directed the officials of the sanitation section to maintain a complete record of when and at which place, the fogging is being done by the corporation. He said that the corporation will take public feedback on the fogging and the report on regular fogging will help in maintaining transparency too.
