RAWALPINDI, Jul 09 (APP):The Rawalpindi Waste Management Company (RWMC) organised a camp on Wednesday in the Dhoke Khabba area, Union Council 43, to raise awareness among the masses about the importance of cleanliness and the prevention of dengue.
According to a RWMC spokesman, the RWMC’s communication and social mobilisation team distributed pamphlets emphasizing the importance and effectiveness of cleanliness, as well as the hazards of dengue.
The spokesman called upon the residents to leave no place wet or with stagnant water, as the present spell of rains had increased the threat of dengue larvae breeding.
Furthermore, he appealed to the citizens to cooperate with the sanitation staff to keep the city clean and throw garbage in waste containers and avoid dumping it on roads, drains and open plots.
In addition, they were asked to keep an eye on junkyards, schools, under-construction buildings, and other sites that might contribute to spreading dengue larvae.
In case of any cleanliness-related complaint, the citizens were advised to contact the helpline number 1139.
