Delhi govt directs schools

In a major development, the Delhi government has asked all schools to observe “dry day” once a week. The schools were asked to check coolers, flower pots, bird pots, water containers, stagnant water and other possible sites to prevent mosquito breeding.

The awareness campaign for school students was taken against vector-borne diseases like dengue, malaria and chikungunya in the national capital.
