PANAJI
Aam Aadmi Party's Panaji unit has launched fogging exercise coupled with a unique awareness campaign after cases of dengue have spiked in the capital city.
Launching the “5 Sundays - 5 pm - 5 minutes” campaign, AAP leader Valmiki Naik said the Panaji unit will distribute leaflets to make people aware of how dengue spreads, and how they can take a few simple steps to arrest its spread.
Naik said the campaign asks people to take just 5 minutes at 5 pm every Sunday for the next 5 weeks to ensure no stagnant water remains in their homes or vicinity.
Naik said the move was inspired by a similar highly successful campaign launched by Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in the national capital.
The fogging campaign began on Sunday evening in St Inez (Ward No 24). Locals mentioned that CCP and authorities concerned have failed to take timely action, and thanked the AAP team for their assistance.
Naik said the newly elected councillors of CCP and the Panaji MLA Atanasio Monserrate and the BJP government have failed the people.
