Strict action will be taken against officials showing negligence during indoor and outdoor surveillance in the anti-dengue campaign, said Deputy Commissioner Anwarul Haq on Monday.
During a visit to Gulrez Housing Society to inspect anti-dengue arrangements, he underlined the need for effective utilisation of all available resources to check occurrence of dengue larvae, particularly in union councils where dengue patients were reported last year.
The DC said area in-charges and supervisors at union council level are responsible for elimination of dengue larvae and strict action would be taken against them if found negligent. He also visited the site of a washing service station in the area and asked them to ensure the SOPs regarding dengue.
The DC urged citizens to cooperate with the field staff in wiping out the dangerous disease.
