Delhi launches "10 hafte 10 baje 10 minute" campaign
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday announced that it is going to relaunch its anti-dengue campaign—10 Hafte 10 Baje 10 Minute—on Sunday which will be carried out for 10 weeks. Soon after the outbreak of monsoon, cases of vector-borne diseases start rising and timely action plan is required to keep them under control.
Arvind Kejriwal said that "It's the breeding season of Dengue mosquitoes, so to protect our family and friends from it. We are launching the '10 hafte 10 baje 10 minute' on every Sunday campaign, like last year. Renew the water collected in your houses, with fresh water every week."
Arvind Kejriwal took to Twitter and wrote: "Last year, 2 crore people of Delhi had shown defeating dengue. Let's start the next 10-week battle against dengue from today. At 10 in the morning, I will check at my house whether there is any water storage. You must also. We also have to defeat dengue this time."
Currently, the national capital is dealing with the COVID-19 crisis. Delhi has reported around 3,000 new cases of coronavirus in the past 24 hours. In an order to ramp up the testing limits in Delhi, the state government is planning to set up coronavirus testing centres at Delhi’s markets, bus stands and mohalla clinics. Currently, around 40,000 coronavirus tests are being conducted in the national capital.
