Six vehicles and staff will be deployed for conducting fogging and power spraying of larvicide in eastern parts of the city, while four vehicles and staff will be pressed into action for the purpose in western side of Kochi. “Fogging will be conducted from 5am to 7am and power spraying will be conducted from 7.30am to 12 noon in a division a day.
