The Kochi Corporation will temporarily recruit 150 workers for two months to step up the anti-mosquito drive in the city.
The workers will be trained in pest control operations. The decision was announced by Mayor M. Anilkumar at the Corporation council meeting held on Saturday.
The civic administration decided to strengthen the drive following reports of increased pest attack and cases of dengue fever. The recruited workers will be attached to the Health wing of the civic body and deployed for fogging. Each Corporation division will be allocated ₹50,000 for cleaning of drains, the Mayor said.
