Public cooperation for anti-dengue drive remains poor, says Greater Chennai Corporation

The Hindu  

As monsoon approaches, the Greater Chennai Corporation is gearing up to control the spread of dengue in the city. GCC Commissioner J. Radhakrishnan said: “We are in contact with resident welfare associations, shop associations, and schools in the 17 lakh households within the Corporation limits. Now, we need to do more than screening and testing for infections.” City Health Officer Jagadeesan also stated that many posh localities do not allow dengue breeding checkers to enter apartment complexes. M. Meena, a volunteer in the special medical camp held in Periamet recently, claimed that they found it easier to handle those in slum areas compared to those in apartment buildings, residential complexes, or gated communities, as they do not allow conservancy workers, even after producing proof, into the houses for checking. Councillors and committee chairpersons must ensure their respective wards are attended to.” Malathy Ravi, a resident of Nanadanam, said the inspection was done six months ago, and the solution was added in large open containers on the terrace, but no camps or inspections had happened since then.
