Aam Aadmi Party MLAs and councillors on Wednesday started a fogging campaign to fight dengue in all Assembly constituencies in the city, the party said.
AAP chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj launched the drive at GK Assembly constituency along with councillor Pooja Jakhar, while national spokesperson Raghav Chadha started it in Rajinder Nagar.
“Normally it does not rain so much in Delhi. It recently rained heavily and the municipal corporation did not do fogging in time. Due to this, mosquitoes have increased a lot in Delhi. The Anti-Malaria Department of MCD is supposed to go door-to-door to check the larvae and spray medicines. However, this time, no such door-to-door inspections took place. And so, we are connecting everyone to this mega fogging campaign: NGOs, RWAs, and others,” Mr. Bharadwaj said.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
