MCD Battles Disease Threat in Flood-Ravaged Areas
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is intensifying its health and sanitation drive across flood-affected zones and relief camps. The primary focus is preventing the outbreak of waterborne diseases.
This comprehensive initiative includes large-scale insecticide spraying to control mosquito populations and the distribution of chlorine tablets and Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS).
Public awareness campaigns are underway, educating residents on hygiene practices and disease prevention. Regular inspections of sanitation facilities are also being conducted.
The MCD’s proactive measures are crucial given the heightened risk of waterborne illnesses in the aftermath of the recent devastating floods. The success of these efforts will directly impact the health and well-being of thousands of affected Delhiites in the coming weeks.
