RAWALPINDI:The Anti dengue awareness campaign launched by Rawalpindi Waste Management Company (RWMC) was in full swing, and all-out efforts were being made to raise awareness about the lifecycle, prevalence, handling, and avoidance of dengue.
According to RWMC spokesman, as per instructions of the Punjab government, RWMC communication teams distributed waste bags and pamphlets in various areas of the city to highlight the importance of cleanliness and dengue prevention.
To eradicate dengue larvae, comprehensive Standing Operating Procedures (SOPs) and an action plan were being followed, and weekly reports were being submitted to the city district government and the government of Punjab.
The spokesman called upon the residents to keep an eye on junkyards, schools and under-construction buildings, which lead to the spread of dengue larvae and leave no place wet or stagnant water.
