Drive to nip waterborne diseases in the bud
Gurgaon,
May 31 The department has cautioned all concerned not to allow the sale of cut fruit and usage of untreated water in order to make cold drinks and others goodies. Besides, those selling meat have also been warned. The department has initiated a campaign to educate the consumers not to buy eatables lying in unhygienic conditions. The district health officer warned that anyone found violating the department’s guidelines and found selling contaminated eatables would be dealt with severely. The department will soon launch surprise checks after the ongoing awareness campaign was through. However, many are sceptical of the entire exercise. This stems from the past experiences of the residents. The authorities issue warnings and launch drives every year. But the vested interests show least regard for the measures. Many residents feel that much more should be done during summer and the monsoon at least. The population in the city is increasing and the vendors are doing a roaring business. They even palm off eatables which are more often of very low quality. Every summer and monsoon, there have been reports of a large number of the seasonal diseases. Several elderly residents recalled that about three years ago there was an outbreak of dengue in the nearby Mewat areas of this district. The epidemic broke in at the end of the monsoon season mainly due to floodlike situation. There were reports that many in the city got infected with dengue and other waterborne diseases. The once-bitten-twice-shy authorities have kept that epidemic in view perhaps before launching the present campaign. SPORTS Rajeev
