Kejriwal appeals to RWAs to join ‘10 Hafte 10 Baje 10 Minute’ anti-dengue campaign

NEW DELHI: All the RWAs of Delhi will participate enthusiastically this week in the '10 Hafte, 10 Baje, 10 Minute, Har Sunday Dengue Par Vaar' campaign being run by the Delhi Government against Dengue. The RWAs will strive to encourage residents to take precaution and undertake drives to raise awareness.

At the same time, Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal encouraged all the RWAs to participate in this campaign actively and said that we have to take up this simple task for 10 minutes every Sunday to save Delhi from dengue. He said in this homework, we have to check whether there is stagnant clean water in our houses and surroundings; if it is, then drain it, change it or put oil in it.

The theme of this week's campaign against Dengue of the Delhi Government is ‘RWAs of Delhi’ and 'RWAs, join us every Sunday to help keep dengue away’ is the tagline.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said, “All the RWAs in Delhi are requested to participate in Delhi Government’s '10 Hafte 10 Baje 10 Minute' campaign, to protect their locality from Dengue. Let’s go around our homes and localities to check for any signs of stagnant water. If we do find water stagnating, let’s drain it, replace it regularly or cover it with a small layer of petrol or oil. Come, let’s play our part in fighting against dengue.”

Like last year, this time also the Delhi Government has started the '10 Hafte, 10 Baje, 10 Minute' campaign to eliminate dengue in Delhi. All the ministers, MLAs and officers of the Delhi Government are also taking part in the campaign and cleaning the water accumulated in their homes every Sunday. Along with this, all the citizens living in Delhi are being made aware of changing the water of their coolers, pots, etc. every week by joining the campaign through various mediums and cleaning the accumulated water around them.
