A Intensive Mosquito Control Campaign was launched by NMMC in Navi Mumbai.

The Campaign

The health department of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has started an extensive chemical fumigation and mosquito repellent spraying operation throughout its jurisdiction. The official states that the goal of this coordinated effort is to stop the spread of mosquitoes.

With the knowledgeable direction of Municipal Commissioner Rajesh Narvekar, a comprehensive plan has been implemented that will run from November 1, 2023, to February 24, 2024. The program includes a number of crucial steps to properly tackle the mosquito threat. Every Thursday, health assistants supervise nightly mosquito density surveys at the Civil Primary Health Center level in the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation region in order to enable comprehensive monitoring.

Additionally, in addition to the routine nightly fumigation that takes place at the Civilian Primary Health Center from November to February, morning fumigation operations have started. This program, which is overseen by the Medical Officer and is carried out by Health Assistants, operates from 5:30 to 6:00 p.m. and carefully follows the timetable for fillings.

As the Health Department works diligently to reduce the number of mosquitoes, the public is urged to assist and collaborate with the committed personnel who work in their particular regions. In order to ensure that everyone works together to successfully protect public health throughout this campaign, people are also asked to report any issues or grievances they may have with fumigation by getting in touch with the closest Civil Primary Health Center, the official added.
