In a bid to curb the spread of vector-borne diseases such as Dengue, Malaria, and Chikungunya, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has conducted a special inspection drive targeting construction sites across the city. The drive aimed to identify and eliminate mosquito breeding grounds, with a particular focus on sites prone to water stagnation.
During the operation, MCD officials inspected a total of 290 construction sites throughout all 12 zones of Delhi. Of these, mosquito breeding was detected at 148 sites.
Immediate action was taken to eradicate these breeding grounds, and the MCD issued 83 legal notices and initiated 60 prosecutions against the responsible builders and site owners.
