NEW DELHI: Around 26 lakh kids learning in various executive and private colleges of the town will quickly be trained to test mosquitoes breeding of their homes and neighbourhoods to combat the dengue and chikungunya risk.
"If every student inspects hisher house for mosquito breeding for just 10 minutes before leaving for school, together we can defeat dengue and chikungunya," mentioned chief minister Arvind Kejriwal at a mega training programme organised on Friday to coach academics, RWAs, civil defence participants and NGOs to test breeding of mosquitoes. He added that housewives also need to be involved within the combat in opposition to the vector-borne diseases. Two short films screened on the training programme confirmed how a bit carelessness may cause dengue and chikungunya. Mosquitoes breed in blank water of coolers, plant pots, rainwater accrued in tyres and discarded pots, uncovered overhead tanks, water accrued on rooftops, among other puts.
"Schools should regularly show the short films to children to create awareness about what can lead to mosquito breeding and how it can be nipped in the bud. At first, the films can be shown daily for a couple of days and then screened every week," mentioned deputy CM Manish Sisodia.
Delhi has witnessed a spike in dengue and chikungunya circumstances since July . "The authorities focus more on cure than prevention, so the root causes remain unaddressed.Prevention of the disease is more important. People should take a vow that they will not allow mosquitoes to breed within 200 metres of their homes," mentioned Sisodia.
All district magistrates were requested by means of the government to organise training programmes on fighting mosquito breeding for RWAs, who can pass at the knowledge to their colony residents. The RWAs and colleges would be given CDs of the educational films.
