Delhi govt prepares roadmap for fogging

A day after Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal ordered to tackle the mosquito menace on a war-footing in the wake of dengue and chikungunya outbreak, Delhi government has prepared a roadmap for fogging which is likely to be undertaken by its Public Works Department.
The move comes after BJP-controlled municipal corporations "failed" to do fogging in Delhi, an official said.
"PWD Minister Satyendar Jain has prepared a roadmap for fogging. On the basis of the roadmap, the government will buy fogging machines as per requirement," said a senior government official. The roadmap may be made public tomorrow.
Yesterday, Kejriwal had stressed on the need to tackle the mosquito menace on a war-footing cutting across political affiliations in view of dengue and chikungunya outbreak.

"Mosquitoes don't know who belongs to which party. Leaving politics behind, all should come together to fight the menace. We kept on saying MCD did not perform its duties. But since it has not, let's do it together. Let the Delhi government, MCDs and the Centre work together," the Delhi Chief Minister had said.
"Soon after returning, I held a meeting with my Health and PWD Minister and told him that if Delhi can tackle this like the way it successfully held odd-even. It surely can.
"I have ordered him to procure as many fogging machines as needed and to wage a war against mosquitoes for the next few months. We will try to undertake fogging and sprinkle medicines every two days in every locality," Kejriwal had said.
