The Amritsar Municipal Corporation is going to buy 10 more hand-held fogging machines. At present, the MC has 16 fogging machines.
Mayor Karamjit Singh Rintu and Municipal Commissioner Malwinder Singh Jaggi held a meeting today with Municipal Health Officer Dr Saurabh Chawla, Dr Rama, Dr Munish and Chief Sanitary Inspectors to tackle dengue menace.
The MC can make arrangements for fogging and cleaning the streets and markets, but to prevent accumulation of water on roofs, pots and in coolers, is the responsibility of residents.
Officials were instructed to take necessary steps for sanitation and detection of larvae.
Rintu said the MC has always worked for convenience of residents, whether it’s pandemic or any other crisis.
Currently, 16 fogging machines were being used to conduct fogging daily for the prevention of dengue and malaria in the wards of the city. Apart from this, the MC is also procuring 10 manual spray machines at emergency level.
The health wing of the MC has been working day and night to clean stagnant water.
Rintu said the MC can make arrangements for fogging and cleaning the streets and markets, but to prevent accumulation of water on roofs, pots and coolers is the responsibility of residents.
The Mayor directed officials present on the spot to use all their staff and machinery to make this exercise a big success and create awareness among residents.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising four eminent persons as trustees.
The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the paper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
