Faridabad, 27 August (HS). The newly appointed CMO of Faridabad today appealed to the public to prevent water-borne diseases caused by mosquitoes breeding in the rainwater accumulated at various places due to continuous rain in Faridabad. He said that the public needs to be alert regarding the issue.
On Tuesday, Dr. Ashok Kumar said that people should avoid using polythene and those who use polythene and throw it in the drains should not do so. Because by doing this the drains get clogged and water accumulates at many places. Due to this, mosquitoes breed in the stagnant water and the risk of diseases caused by the breeding of those mosquitoes increases. On the other hand, CMO Dr. Ashok Kumar said that many teams have been formed by his malaria department to deal with mosquitoes and apart from this, wherever there is waterlogging, mosquitoes are being prevented from breeding by putting black oil and medicines there. Due to this, he has appealed to the people of Faridabad not to let water accumulate on the roof of their houses or in coolers and keep cleaning it. Taking precautions also eliminates many diseases.
