Disinfection drive from today to check disease spread

Bhubaneswar: With over 190 active diarrhoea cases under treatment and strict vigilance on the rising dengue and malaria situation, the state govt on Thursday announced a special disinfection drive to curb the spread of water-borne and vector-borne diseases. The drive, a joint effort of the health and family welfare department and the panchayati raj and drinking water department, will be carried out in two phases on July 4 and July 11. A detailed action plan was finalised at a high-level meeting chaired by Health Secretary Aswathy S. "During the campaign, super chlorination of drinking water sources, and proper cleaning and disinfection of health facilities, educational institutions, marketplaces, and other public places will be undertaken," said the health and family welfare department in an official statement.
