The MCD has launched a special drive to check breeding of Aedes mosquito responsible for spread of the disease. As many as 803 people have been prosecuted so far and legal notices have been issued to 5417.
In the wake of rise in breeding of Aedes mosquito, the MCD has appealed to heads of government departments, autonomous bodies, educational institutions, owners and occupiers of commercial complexes, office-bearers of market and Residents Welfare Associations and citizens to take adequate steps to prevent mosquito breeding.
