All local bodies in Alappuzha have been directed to complete the pre-monsoon cleaning drive by May 20.
The directive was issued at a review meeting chaired by Local Self-Government department joint director Binu John at District Panchayat Gender Park here recently.
The meeting called on local bodies to begin the clean-up with people’s participation at the earliest to prevent dengue outbreaks in the upcoming monsoon season. It urged panchayats and municipalities to hold inter-sector meetings and prepare an action plan immediately.
