The departments of Health and Local Self Government will join hands to take up a district- level campaign for pre-monsoon cleaning to thwart a spurt in communicable diseases.
The decision was taken at a high-level meeting attended by Health Minister Veena George and LSG Minister M.V. Govindan.
The meeting decided to step up vector control measures in all districts. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays will be observed as dry days in houses, schools and institutions respectively. A participatory campaign will be launched to clean up the premises of residential and institutional buildings.
