Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal launches campaign against dengue

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal launched his government's anti-dengue campaign, which is now in its second year, on Sunday.

Called '10 Hafte-10 Baje-10 Minute', the campaign aims to tackle dengue and other vector-borne diseases like chikungunya and malaria.

As a part of the initiative, the Chief Minister inspected his house for stagnant water and urged citizens to do the same for the next 10 weeks. Delhi had reported 2036 cases of dengue and two deaths in 2019.

Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, other members of the Aam Aadmi Party and volunteers also joined the drive and posted photos of themselves on social media.

People are expected to take out 10 minutes, every Sunday at 10 am for 10 weeks to check for accumulation of any stagnant water in their homes.
