Construction sites flogged to control dengue
As Coimbatore is faced with rising dengue fever cases, mosquito control measures are being carried out in the city.
The ongoing control procedure will now focus on construction work sites and other areas including the premises of vacant locked houses, government offices and public areas like cinema halls to ensure vector control.
The probability of spreading of the disease is even more during rainy season. Keeping this in mind, the authorities have decided to zoom in on stagnant water in possible areas, which is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. As a way to to prevent the breeding of the mosquitoes, civic workers are conducting fogging operations using Pyrethrum to kill any adult aedes aegypti mosquito and also going door to door to apply temephos, a larvicide in all drinking water sources.
