*Chandigarh, July 8:-* The Municipal Corporation Chandigarh has undertaken a comprehensive fogging drive across government and private schools in the city to ensure the safety and hygiene of students and staff. This proactive step is part of MCC’s ongoing efforts to prevent the spread of vector-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, and chikungunya, especially during the monsoon season.
The fogging operations were carried out in school premises including classrooms, playgrounds, corridors, and other high-risk areas. Special attention was given to areas where stagnant water could become breeding grounds for mosquitoes. The drive was coordinated in close collaboration with school managements to minimize disruption to academic activities.
Municipal Commissioner Sh. Amit Kumar, IAS stated that the health and well-being of students is a top priority. He urged school authorities and parents to take preventive measures, including keeping the surroundings clean and ensuring there is no water accumulation.
