Deputy Commissioner Girish Dayalan ordered the Health Department, the Municipal Corporation and Municipal Councils to actively take up fogging drive to curb mosquito menace.

Chairing the weekly health review meeting at the District Administrative Complex, Dayalan said, “Instead of pressing each fogging vehicle into operation just once a day, they may be used twice in the morning and evening.”

The Municipal Corporation has pressed into service GPS equipped fogging machines into service enabling monitoring of the speed and duration of vehicles in designated area/locality. The city is divided into four zones. Fogging is done in each zone by one machine each as per a schedule catering every sector/phase once a week. Re-fogging is done in every sector/phase of the city after eight to10 days.

Besides, two shoulder-mounted machines are being used for fogging in parks, villages and settlements. These are also being used in houses of active dengue patients and their neighborhood. — TNS

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).
